Following the idea of the UK party affiliation topic, i decided to probe the forum. So, if you were Portuguese who would you vote or support?

Probably Left Bloc even if they are a bit New Left silly for me. Socialists are a bit too corrupt to be given unchecked power (even if I like Costa, and they're less awful than PSOE), PAN are a bit scanty and the Communists are a bit unreformed.

1) BE
2) PS
3) PAN
4) CDU
5) PSD
6) CDS-PP

Left Bloc (BE)
People-Animals-Nature (PAN)
Socialist Party (PS)
Unitary Democratic Coalition (CDU)

I'd vote for any of those parties, but my preference would be in that order.

Based on Wikipedia skimming levels of knowledge, PSD I guess.

PSD is the closest party to "liberalism", although sometimes is hard to find anything "liberal"in the PSD.

By "liberal" I'm assuming you are using that term in the more European sense, correct?

More info about Portuguese political parties:



The electorate puts the PSD and CDS basically on the same level and classifies the PS as centrist.

Wow, based on the names they all sound pretty good. Tongue

Based on briefly skimming the Wiki articles I think I'd vote Socialist, but I don't know much about Portugal.
