Besides my maternal Granny, I come from a long line of socialists, and my upbringing does affect how I vote today.
I'm now an atheist, but I also think being brought up a Methodist affected my politics. To me the basic beliefs of Christianity are very akin to socialist principles, and that's why I'll probably always vote Labour.
(The only time I haven't voted Labour was in the London Mayoral elections, when I voted for Red Ken, rather than the offical Labour Party candidate Dobson.)
