I'm on really good with both of my parents, so I voted about the same. I honestly couldn't have asked for better parents.
Well given that to this day my dad introduces me as his "adopted daughter" and I have been his child since I was 4 months old I would say my mom won by default! Seriously though, I was far closer to my mom before she passed. I saw her every day pretty much and I see my dad once a year if I am lucky.
My mum is nice, but my dad makes for more interesting conversation. Mainly because mum sees things in black and white and dad has a more open mind on things. So I get along better with him.
my dad hands down. yes i do love my mother but she is what i call a "neatpsycho" and im what you would call a "i dont care" kind of guy, you can see where the tension is. My dad is more like me and ive started to draw him into gaming so thats always fun
I'm gay, that means I have to get along better with my mother by default pretty much.

I'd have to say my mother because my father tries to condescendingly push his archaic opinions on us. He seems to think he's a lone defender of the truth amongst the apathetic unthinking masses who don't particularly care what Alex Jones has to say (see: us); a moral crusader with righteous anger towards Big Pharma, weather control, environmentalism, airport security, tofu, and whatever else is vaguely connected to whatever conspiracy theories and societal decline he reads about. His most offensive exploits include saying there should be a man in charge while watching the female state premier speak on TV with his wife and daughter, and when challenged, replying with something inane about feminists and lesbians (a "corrupt sexuality") in politics and there being differences between men and women. He also said he'd shoot the bats flying over our house and that the idiot who ran over a swan with a jet-ski for fun shouldn't have such a harsh punishment when he knows animal cruelty upsets me (I'm vegetarian, which he also disapproves of), and then telling an irrelevant sob story about poor victims of species protection policies who had their land taken away.
Don't get me wrong, my dad is generally a nice guy. He's never abused me before and doesn't get really angry towards us. I'm very grateful I never had to fear my dad like some people. Many times he drove me to the bus stop down the road because I was too irresponsible to get ready in time to walk, he does little nice things like that if I ask. He's a compassionate and sensitive person, but his causes take precedence over how his family feel, and his feelings take precedence over sound reason and I find that really irritating.
