Well, definitely. One where social and economic justice prevails. That's the most important. :)

commit to a person having different political opinion.
it depends on what political opinions, if her political opinions are sectarian, narrow minded, consevative, than it's not possible.

Same thing here:
my ex and my current girlfriends both sympathised more with other parties.
Things worked with us because we were all moderate political spokesmen :P

at least, that's how i see things!

Inanna,
When two persons are in love, changes in behaviour, comportment, mood, philosphy and others... implicitely occur, in order for the 2 persons to completely melt into ONE entity.

I just wanted to know to what extends the political disripancies can be considered as a "solvable" matter...
It seems that, unfortunately, many do not consider it so.

Well,,, As for a personal opinion,, it can't work,,

with such opinions, i can say that not only i wouldn't get committed to such a person, but wouldn't even be attracted to her!!!

If my partner has a divergent political opinion I can respect, yes there would be no problem.

However, I cannot live with someone who would cheer or consider himself represented by a leader having been a former warlord (for example), How would I respect such a person?

you're right! but still i always prefer to think that a political affiliation is a personal matter!
so let me ask you this: if he's smart, great, takes good care of you... but loves a leader that you don;t you let this person go?!
or isnt easier to let politics out of your relation, or discuss it while respecting the other person's point of view!?

Inanna, actually I do not consider political affiliation to be a personnal matter, it says a lot about who you are, so to me this person will not at all be great, it's very simple.
