Soon there´s an election to parliament here in Sweden and it has made me think about the possibility that my T votes "for the other side" so to speak. We have the conservatives (right wing) and the socialists/left parties (left wing).


As in every country the parties represent different views upon people and how the country should be run.


I´m not very into politics but I would find it hard to accept if my T was right wing. Not that I think she would openly say whom she votes for but it can become more or less apparent if I begin to talk about the election.

In Sweden left wing parties usually do more for poor and sick people, for example those with mental conditions.


But I know my T lives in an area where a majority vote for right wing parties even if that doesn´t neccessarily mean she does.


But to me - to work within church and with less privileged people in therapy as my T does and vote for a right wing party is not to fully stand up for the sick, poor and so on. It shows several values that I really don´t share and if I knew my T voted for a right wing party I would be kind of disappointed and partly see her in a different light.


Has anyone experienced this with their T? Any suggestions on how to act in this matter?
