What you vote has
influence on your relationship
When I voted for the first time, I was single. You orient yourself a bit among friends, but still, my home situation was the biggest indicator for me: dad and mom. And I have actually voted for that party ever since. Not out of convenience, but because I can really identify with that ideology. Until this year. Yes, a person can change, even though it feels a bit like cheating. By the way, I'm not a dreamer, because I already know which box that red pencil will go (how prehistoric, but also nicely old school). And you know what I find funny? Without me knowing it (because I was still single then), my future and now current love voted for the same party.
Is that coincidence, do you think? No, says a study by Parship. The researchers examined happy singles and 68 percent of the ladies and 41 percent of the men do not want a partner whose political preference is far from theirs. And I understand that. Oh yes, love conquers all and all those rose petals and fuss, but I just don't see the Geert supporter holding romantic hands over a cheese fondue with the Jesse Klaver fan club. Belief is a dealbreaker in love, but politics just as much. And that is proven by Gayle McCormick, a 73-year-old retired prison guard. She left her husband after 22 years of marriage because he announced he would vote for Trump. Speaking of dealbreakers. And the Dutch agree with Gayle, because no less than 55 percent finds a different political color a problem within the relational sphere. “She left her husband after 22 years of marriage”.
“A political opposite as a partner is therefore exceptional. Logical, if we are to believe Parship. “Common norms and values are an important foundation for a stable relationship. It says a lot about how someone stands in life,” emphasizes Country Manager of Parship Femke van der Hoeven. By the way, it is also important that future partners level a bit when it comes to politics. If he eagerly dives into party programs and you, for example, never vote? Then that is also an indicator that you might not be made for each other. 74 percent of singles find it important that the potential partner uses his or her voting rights and 66 percent indicate they want to talk about politics together.
But what is the no-go on a first date? Exactly, talking about politics. 88 percent, eighty-eight, do not want this. So I have the trick for when you want to make a clear distinction between suitable and unsuitable right away: just ask about beliefs and which party they vote for. You don't have to worry about that anymore.”
Oh, and that polling station, guys.
