I found I tend to be a bit of a contrarian. I tend to lean away from what the I feel is being pushed on me. In university, many of my profs had a strong NDP bent. I was pretty far right of that. I never liked the Trudeau/Turner Liberals, and had a number of spirited debates.
Then the Reform came on the scene, and Preston Manning gave a presentation. I came away thoroughly unimpressed. He refused to answer many point blank questions and seemed very evasive. The first impression I got was that he was not someone I could trust. The traditional PC party eroded until it disappeared. I don't feel any allegiance to any party, and don't feel any party represents me.
