France: Communist

Why not LCR? Besancenot seems to be more of your type.

[Hash]

Turkey: CHP

Social-fascists ? Why not direclty MHP ;-)

Rather them than the AKP.

Lewis, the NDP doesn't have a Quebec provincial wing.

But they're running in Quebec in federal elections. That's something, innit?

Yes, but I am pretty sure he meant provincial. Please don't cop out. I know there aren't any good parties in Quebec

Well then, not ADQ. Otherwise candidate-based but with a preference for voting third (fourth?) party or possibly not at all. Against independence in any referendum.

Quebec Solidaire maybe?

I did sort of support them last time around, yeah.

The Liberals are the only true federalist party, the Greens are indecisive on the issue... QS is separatist leaning, but are like the ADQ in that they really don't care. And then there's the "Equality Party"

The Equality Party is either de-registered or dead.

Why do you call yourself Tory and would you vote for Labor. Also you seem to support centre-right to far-right parties (PVV in the Netherlands) and in France you'd vote socialist.

I'd vote socialist in France because the French right is completely unappealing.

The Socialists are actually appealing?

[Hash]

Italy: Forza Italia

There's a new party that has replaced Forza Italia - The People of Freedom party.

People of Freedom? No offense, but that's quite a bad name. Forza Italia is a much better name for a political party.

[Hash]

Canada: some Western separatist thing

Oh, you mean the fascist far-right fringe led by some Nazi?

Going to re-do this.

Montenegro: Movement for Changes

Let's do this completely

UK: Ideally Liberal Democrats, though possibly Conservative in Lab-Con marginal seats.
N. Ireland: NI uses preferential voting, so I'll do it in terms of preferences 1: Alliance, 2: SDLP, 3: Greens, 4: Sinn Fein, 5: UUP, 6: All kooky nats, 7: DUP, 8: All kooky unionists
Wales: Plaid Cymru
Scotland: SNP or Scottish Greens, depending on constituency
Ireland: Ireland uses preferential voting, so 1: Fine Gael, 2: Anti-coalition Greenies, 3: Labour, 4: Pro-coalition Greenies, 5: Fianna Fáil
Iceland: Icelandic Movement-Living Land or Progressive Party
Norway: Venstre, primarily for its environmentalism and secularism, though Høyre is also good. I would never vote for Progress. Ever.
Sweden: Centre, primarily for its environmentalist streak and opposition to the Liberal People's Party pro-Iraq stance and rabidly pro-Israeli stance.
Finland: Green League
Poland: All parties are pretty much the fail. Civic Platform because it's viable and is the most productive opposition to PiS. Economically, though, PO is pretty much the suck too. And I am not voting for the fake liberal "Democrats" or the ex-Communists. Maybe PSL, but I'm not sure the Polish centre is the same as the Scandinavian centre. I would never vote for PiS, Samoobrona, or LPR. Ever.
Russia: Ugh. Yabloko, but they're not viable. Unlike others, I am not going to vote for the Stalinist KPRF just because they're the opposition to Putin. For obvious reasons, I'd never vote YR or LDPR.
Ukraine: Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc or Our Ukraine. The pro-European coalition, basically.
Romania: I have no great love for any of these crooks, except UDMR. On terms of ideology, PNL, but it's another of these corrupt crooks.
Bulgaria: GERB. Though, again, I like none of them. Would have support NDSV until it collapsed.
Greece: I would never vote for the current parliamentary parties. Corrupt ND, incompetent fascist-loving PASOK, 1930s Marxist KKE, the pro-looters SYRIZA, or the anti-semitic asshole LAOS. Ideally, Ecologist Greens or the Liberal Alliance.
Serbia: Liberal Democratic Party or Tadic's coalition. I would never vote for the Radicals, DSS, or SPS.
Kosovo: New Kosovo Alliance. Though I like none of them
Montenegro: Movement for Changes or LPCG are by far the best (or least worst). I would never vote for the Serbs, or Đukanović's crooks.
Croatia: Croatian Social Liberal Party, reluctantly
Italy: Ideally, the Radicals until they kicked the bucket. Today, I'd vote for Italia dei Valori or the PD. Anything anti-Berlusconi that is not on the kooky left. Would support the SVP in South Tyrol and whatever the French liberal thingee is called in Vallee-d'Aoste.
Switzerland: Green Liberal Party (one of the best parties there is out there) or the new FDP.Liberals party. I'd never vote for the SVP-UDC or any of the small fascist parties.
Austria: ÖVP, but I'm not too keen on their historical clericalism. Maybe Greenies. LIF without a doubt if they actually had a chance.
Germany: I could see myself voting for the FDP or Greens anytime, and the CDU depending on who is leading them. I would not vote for the SPD, CSU, or the SED Linke.
Holland: D66, obviously. Though the PvdD is very cool.
Belgium: Gah. RWF or Greenies in Wallonia, Greenies in Flanders. I wouldn't vote for any parties in the coalitions.
Luxembourg: Democratic Party or Déi Gréng.
France: Anything but the left, far-left, far-right, conservative right, crooks, and the fake centre. So, that narrows it down a lot. UMP depending on candidates, or else NC or Gauche moderne.
Spain: PSOE in Spain proper (or, anything but PP or the minority-hating "centrist" UPyD) but EAJ-PNV in Basque Country, CiU in Catalonia, and BNG in Galicia.
Portugal: People's Monarchist Party. Never for the PS, PSD, Commies, Trots, or CDS-PP.
Cyprus: Democratic Rally, United Democrats, maybe even AKEL! I like Christofias.
Malta: Ugh. Democratic Alternative. The two big parties are ghastly.
Czech: Green Party
Slovakia: Free Forum or SDKÚ-DS. I would not vote for the pro-fascist Smer, the openly fascist SNS, or the Mečiar HZDS.
BiH: They all suck.
Slovenia: Zares. Youth Party if they didn't ally with the agrarians.
Estonia: Centre Party, Reform, or Greens.
Lithuania: Liberals' Movement or Labour.
Latvia: Green Party
Israel: Strategic vote for Kadima, though I could see voting for the Greens or Meretz. I would have been a hardcore Shinui supporter in the past.
Turkey: Greens (a tiny new party). I could very reluctantly vote for the CHP or DSP.
Lebanon: National Liberal. Probably wouldn't bother voting/
India: Indian National Congress. Depending on the constituency, I'd vote strategically against the BJP and its allies.
Pakistan: Wouldn't vote for crooks.
Bangladesh: Wouldn't vote for crooks. I'd vote strategically against the BNP if I did vote.
Thailand: Democrat Party, I guess.
Taiwan: Non-Partisan Solidarity Union.
Japan: DPJ or Communist
South Korea: Renewal of Korea Party or Democratic Party.
Malaysia: Democratic Action, if I bother voting. I do not like the DAP's allies.
Indonesia: None
Australia: Preferential voting, so: 1. AUDemocrats or Greens, 2. Greens or AUDemocrats, 3. Socially moderate Liberal, 4. Labor, 5. Liberal, 6. National, 7. The kooky Christians/One Nation.
NZ: All New Zealand parties I could vote for, except NZF or Progressives. Ideally, ACT, United Future, or Maori.
Fiji: None
Mongolia: Democratic Party
Georgia: Saakashvili party, whatever tin-pot name it has.
Armenia: Whatever.
Azerbaijan: Any opposition party, if they have the right to actually exist.
Saudi Arabia: Green Party!
South Africa: Democratic Alliance, the only sane party.
Kenya: They all suck
Canada: ABC. I would vote against the Rednecks Alliance Refooooooorm Conservatives in marginals and Tory-held seats. Whether it means NDP, Liberal, or Bloc, I don't care. In safe seats, Greens, though Elizabeth May is a crappy leader.
Quebec: PQ or Greens. Today the PQ despite being generally federalist since they're viable opposition to that idiot crook Charest.
Ontario: Green Party or Liberal
Other Provinces: Depends. PC in Newfoundland, Liberals in most other Maritime provinces. Probably Greens in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and BC. Suicide in Yukon.
Puerto Rico: PIP or that new Green party.
Jamaica: None
Mexico: PAN, reluctantly.
Colombia: Oxygen Green Party, I guess. Though I'm pro-Uribe.
Venezuela: Justice First or anything anti-Chavez.
Brazil: Democrats
Peru: Whatever is not pro-Chavez.
Ecuador: Anything anti-Correa (anti-Chavez)
Bolivia: PODEMOS (anti-Morales)
Uruguay: Colorado
Argentina: Radical Civic Union, I guess.
Chilie: I'm kind of split. I like the Concertación alliance (notably the PRSD and PPD), but I'd probably vote for the Alianza coalition (National Renewal).
