What parties would you be in other countries?

[TNF]

This is going to be a rather boring exercise.

United States: Socialist Alternative
United Kingdom
           England: Socialist Party of England and Wales
           Wales: Socialist Party of England and Wales
           Scotland: Socialist Party Scotland
           Northern Ireland: Socialist Party of Ireland
Canada: Socialist Alternative
           Quebec: Socialist Alternative
Australia: Socialist Party
New Zealand: Socialist Voice

Told you so. In any case, although I listed CWI affiliates in Greece and Spain, I would more likely than not vote for Podemos and Syriza, assuming the CWI affiliate in question was not running a candidate in opposition to either organization in the nation in question.

You really do know your obscure left wing parties.. Why go People's Front of Iceland (less than 0.1%) and Social Justice Party in countries that actually have decent left wing parties capable of passing the threshold? Even when you do not like the standard left wing party like Syriza, you go Xekinima and not Antasya (which at least had a theoretical chance).

What is the point of going for ideological purity to such an extreme degree? I get with something like the US Democrats and mainstream SD parties, but you seem hellbent on finding the most obscure sects in countries with PR and actual socialist parties capable of getting into parliament.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Supporting parties that have any chance of actually affecting public policy is a bourgeois attitude, you see.

[Hatman 🍁]

In the case of Canada, "Socialist Alternative" doesn't even run in any elections.

[Antonio the Sixth]

In the case of Canada, "Socialist Alternative" doesn't even run in any elections.

That's probably a positive, according to TNF's logic.

[morgieb]

I don't know any parties called Socialist Party here either. It's either Socialist Alliance or Socialist Equality Party.

[morgieb]

France: Socialists (are they even actually socialist?)

Britain: Labour

Australia: Labor

Canada: Liberal

Officially they're social democrats. In practice they're ugly moderate heroes, for lack of a better term.

He supports the Committee for a Workers' International, and simply listed its affiliates in each of those countries, some of which do endorse a vote for larger leftist coalitions such as SYRIZA.

[Oak Hills]

I think I'm gonna try this, only listing countries I've been following enough to have an opinion.

Austria: The Greens - The Green Alternative, but only for lack of a better alternative at the federal level.
Canada: New Democratic Party, but I would vote for Greens or Liberals if necessary to stop the conservatives from winning my riding.
France: Parti de Gauche
Germany: Die Linke (Reform Left Network within the party)
Greece: SYRIZA
Israel: Meretz
Spain: Podemos
United Kingdom: I figure I'd vote Labour or Greens in most constituencies, but I'd consider a minor left-wing party if one was standing in my constituency.
United States: I'd be registered Democratic if in a closed-primary state, but I would vote Green or some minor left-wing party if the election in question wasn't close, I didn't like the Democrat, and/or the Republican wasn't scary enough to get me to hold my nose.

[sparkey]

I can only think of a few Prime Ministers or Presidents in the world whose parties I'd be a member of, namely Rutte's VVD in the Netherlands, Rõivas' Reform Party in Estonia, and Bettel's Democratic Party in Luxembourg. Otherwise I'm fine with whatever right-liberal, classical liberal, and libertarian parties are available. I prefer them to be pragmatic, not too radical, and not too obsessed with anti-internationalism, but I can rarely be so picky. My current list is:

Australia: Liberal Democratic Party
Austria: NEOS
Belgium: Libertarian, Direct, Democratic
Costa Rica: Libertarian Movement
Denmark: Liberal Alliance
Estonia: Estonian Reform Party
France: Liberal Democratic Party
Germany: Free Democratic Party
Greece: Liberal Alliance
Italy: Italian Radicals
Japan: The Assembly to Energize Japan
Luxembourg: Democratic Party
Netherlands: People's Party for Freedom and Democracy
Slovakia: Freedom and Solidarity
Sweden: Classical Liberal Party
Switzerland: FDP.The Liberals
United Kingdom: Liberal Party
United States: Libertarian Party

I'd be an independent most other places.
