What parties would you be in other countries?

Updating my Romania party to the Save Romania Union. Since it's a pretty new party, I might change again if it becomes a disaster, but I think it at least seems like a refreshing take on the politics of the country.

No, just no. Under no way ould you support sinn fein.

+Also in Australia, you'd probably support the one nation party.

Aside, from that you have an explicitly nazi party that you support, and two explicitly fascist parties that you support, and three quasi-fascist parties that you support. Continue to claim you're not racist and not a fascist though.

[IceAgeComing]

anyone who lists golden dawn on this list is scum imo; its pretty damn clear what sort of party they are and the disgusting things that their predeccessors did shouldn't be allowed to happen again

The ones that I'm pretty sure of at least are:

UK: Green (member of the Scottish Greens); with tactical anti-Tory votes if required.  In NI I'd probably be the boring person that preferences the moderate parties (on the union question; Alliance, SDLP, Greens) over the other ones, but in this election I'd actually preference Sinn Fein just to try to get them ahead of the DUP

US: Probably a Democrat, if a reluctant one.  Might vote Green or for the left at a lower level though if they ever were a realistic prospect

Canada: NDP federally and provincially in most places: the exception being in provinces where the NDP don't really exist provincially I'd vote for the provincial Liberals.  Quebec Solidaire in Quebec elections; the other parties are all terrible.

Australia: Green; preferring Labor above the LNP at all times

New Zealand: Greens; although Labour on the constituency vote unless the candidate was a stinker and low on the list

Ireland: there's no single party here really; I'd preference the newer left parties and independents high (AAA/PBP; possibly the Greens); then Sinn Fein then the old parties.

France: Probably flitting between the parties of the left (PS, FdG, the Ecologistes) depending on the local situation; anti-FN tactical vote as well

Germany: SPD in the past, now willing to consider the Left and the Greens.  Certainly wouldn't vote SPD in the list vote this year at protest to the grand coalition

Belgium: They're all corrupt anyway so none are very good; probably the PTB/PVDA+, I like the fact that they aren't split by language but a united party, the PS are hilariously corrupt on the French side with the SP.a are just bad on the other.

Poland: ugh they're all bad: probably SLD to try and get them over 5% and get a party that at least claims to be on the left in the Sejm, Razem are hilariously small so there's no point there and Nowoczesna are liberals.

Estonia: Not sure; the Social Democrats are the closest thing to a "left" party and they, well, aren't really.  Centre is worth keeping an eye on, they might evolve a bit under their new leadership although they'll not exactly be left-wing; I do prefer their policies on the Russian minority though.

Latvia: Harmony on policies; although they have some... questionable links to Russia (they are the Russian minority party basically).  Not the Greens, because they aren't real Greens.

Lithuania: For lack of a better option the LSDP; the LVŽS again aren't really Greens and the other parties are mixtures of conservatives and right liberals.  There is another Green party here which I think is a little better but I don't trust them.

Russia: Yabloko or an other democratic party; or I'd spoil my vote

Spain: Traditionally PSOE, now Podemos

Everywhere else I don't know much about; and I'm not going to guess this based on the terrible description of the parties on Wikipedia.

He's probably attracted to Sinn Féin's nationalist stance, but would be totally put off by their whole "equal rights for all" thing.

[DPKdebator]

USA: Independent, but most likely to vote Republican
Ireland: Fianna Fáil
Northern Ireland: Sinn Féin or SDLP (for their nationalist stances, my family in NI votes SDLP but I'd vote either one based off what is more likely to de-seat the DUP)
UK: UKIP
Canada: Conservative
France: Front National
Italy: Lega Nord
Spain: Together for Yes
Russia: United Russia

[SATW]

U.S.: Republican Party
U.K.. Conservative Party
Israel: The Likud
Canada: Conservative Party of Canada
Australia: The Coalition (Liberal Party of Australia and National Party of Australia + all offshoots)
Russia: Independent
Czech Republic: Civic Democratic Party or TOP09
France: Les Republicains ever so reluctantly. If Valls wins PS's primary, I'll back them, otherwise I'm backing Fillon this yr.
Argentina: The Republican Proposal (PRO)
Poland: Civic Platform (PO)
Colombia: Democratic Center
The Netherlands: Party for Freedom (PVV)
Norway: Progress Party
Denmark: Venstre or Danish People's Party, not sure.
India: BJP
Japan: Liberal Democratic Party of Japan
Italy: Independent (now that Renzi is sadly gone. I'm open to supporting the Democrats again if Renzi returns  or if the center-right continues to be a joke. )
Ireland: Fine Gael
South Africa: Democratic Alliance
Taiwan: Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)
Mexico: National Action Party (PAN)
Azerbaijan: New Azerbaijan Party
Germany: CDU-CSU (Very reluctantly. Can't and won't trust AfD).
New Zealand: ACT New Zealand (I will likely never support the National Party ever again after their disgraceful betrayal of Israel. Rodney Hide, former ACT leader, and David Seymour, current ACT leader, have decent pro-israel records, it seems, so ACT has my support.)

Not very familiar with these countries' politics but have a decent feeling of where I'd lean ideologically:
Estonia: Reform Party (Seems like a decent, market liberal party)
Austria: Austrian People's Party (OVP) (I guess this is who I'd support? FPO's bad past under Haider and others is the image I still see. I'm glad they aren't as anti-American or anti-Israel as before but not convinced this is a party I can back.)
Croatia: Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) (I'm a fan of Pres. Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović and it seems PM Andrej Plenković is decent too. Both are members of center-right HDZ. But, I do not know much about Croatian politics.)
Iraqi Kurdistan: Kurdistan Democratic Party I am a strong supporter of the Kurds aspirations for Independence in Iraqi Kurdistan. Don't know much about the political split between KDP and PUK (I do know they had a conflict in the 1990s, but KDP is more of a big tent, ideologically, so I support them.)

LOL, I don't care what a Socialist is thinking of me or is calling me.

Their policy aren't that right-wing tbh, they're trying to formulate a message to appeal to the liberal left.

[Kingpoleon]

They're centrist, leaning a bit to the right economically and mostly to the left socially. This is like choosing Cuomo, without the corruption, over Sanders.

The Orange Book-ers of Clegg's ilk are. Farron is and has been a bit more of a social democrat, almost to Blair's left.

Labor's also attacked Farron for his seemingly hesitant support of SSM and LGBT rights.
