To answer the OP I wouldn't judge on party politics (ok, I would...I'd never knowingly fuck a Tory) but I agree with Lacey, it's obvious fairly quickly if you're on completely different wavelengths and it'd be a turn off.

"There are hard limits. Racists, homophobes and the like can fuck right off. I don't want to be around people like that. Other views a lot would come down to how they express them rather than the point itself. " But surely racism and homophobia aren’t exclusively political issues? If someone was racist and homophobic on a date, my first thought would be what an awful personality they have; not that their political views are questionable. But as others have said that’s probably because I have little interest in politics compared to others. | |||

"It’s possible. I tend to click with people who have similar views and opinions to me. It just happens I suppose. Would I ask someone who they vote for when I met them? No I wouldn’t, it would be irrelevant to me. I did wonder how this would even come up. I wouldn’t ask either. I really wouldn’t care. I don’t really understand politics enough to care tbh. Is that bad?
Sometimes bigots reveal themselves pretty quickly. I've had people make negative comments about Romanians, people on benefits or gay people, etc over a drink. It put me off.
That’s not a political thing though. Some people are just idiots.
Those things are political views.
How?
Views about the rights of people on benefits and immigrants are political views. A person who opposes gay people would oppose political issues such as same sex marriage and whether gay people couples had the same rights as heterosexual couples as well.
No they’re not. I disagree.
How are they not?
So someone makes a negative comment about gay people over a drink. That’s a political issue?? That’s a personal issue. Nothing to do
With politics.
This is exactly what I was saying
Would depend exactly what they said, to that point I agree, A slight homophobic comment.
However, it's rare such comments are not aligned with their views that overlap with human rights of those they make such negative comments about. Human rights are most definitely political.
So which particular way would that person vote then who would be likely to say that? Because i think that’s what we’re really getting at here don’t you?
Was the question "would you be turned of by a Conservative or labour supporter?"? Because politics are so much more about than just 2 parties that are just as fucked up as each other.
Which party is not hebissue, it is where you stand on each individual specific of politics.
Exaclty. Someone could align with most of my political views and vote for the same party as me but if we differed on a political issue that was very, very important to me morally then it would likely be an issue for me.
So really, the question could just have easily have been - “would you avoid sleeping with someone who has different moral values to you?”. They are one and the same, essentially, as a person’s political views... if I’m understanding the point.
For me, yes. Though moral values more often than not do align with political values. Different people will have varied values for different parts of human rights, they may be homophobic values but pro immigration. If that makes sense. "I guess it makes sense, yeah. My point was simply that, when politics isn’t something that’s on your radar in life in general, you don’t conceptualise those types of attitudes as ‘political” when they come up in general conversation. For me, the issues that have been mentioned are essentially moral value issues. And they of course would 100% determine whether I wanted to spend my time with someone. It’s probably a matter of semantics really... | |||

You likely know where he stands on a lot of issues but just don't associate any of it with politics which is fair enough. Everyone has political views but it is a choice whether you are actively political or not . | |||
