Firstly, I would like to introduce myself to these forums, it is great to have a website dedicated to discussing elections, politics, political processes and what ifs of all three.

Here's my list:
Albania - Republican Party
Andorra - Democrats for Andorra
Argentina: Republican Proposal
Australia: Liberal/National (Coalition for those unfamiliar with Australian politics), sometimes a minor party like Family First, the Christian Democrats, Shooters Party or the LDP, particularly in the Senate. My vote would always go back to the Coalition though.
Austria: BZO or OVP, especially if either took a harder line against the EU.
Belarus: Someone that's right-wing and anti-Lukashenko.
Belgium:
  • Flanders - NVA
  • Wallonia - MR, quite reluctantly though given their leftward shift in recent years.  
Bosnia & Herzegovina:
  • Multi-ethnic: LDS, if I really had to.
  • Croat: Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) of Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • Bosniak: Party of Democratic Action
  • Serb: Party of Democratic Progress
Brazil: Progressive or Republic parties
Bulgaria: Blue Coalition
Canada: Blue Tory, Wildrose in Alberta
Chile: Independent Democratic Union
China: Anything that isn't the Communist Party or related to it.
Croatia: HDZ or HGS (Croatian Citizen Party)
Cuba: See China, preferably no leftist parties of any kind though.
Cyprus: Democratic Rally
Czech Republic: Civic Democratic Party, TOP09, possibly Public Affairs
Denmark: Conservative People's Party, I do agree with the Danish People's Party on some issues though, notably the EU and Danish sovereignty.
Estonia: IRL
Finland: National Coalition (reluctantly)
France: UMP (reluctantly)
Germany: Reluctantly for Merkel's coaltion, maybe Citizens in Rage
Greece: Independent Greeks, New Democracy if they weren't best friends with the bureaucrats in Brussels.
Hungary: Fidesz
Iceland: Independence Party
India: National Democratic Alliance
Indonesia: Party with a Pancasila ideology
Ireland: Fianna Fail, if I really had to.
Israel: Likud
Italy: Future and Freedom
Japan: Liberal Democratic Party
Kenya: Right-wing member of the Party of National Unity
Kosovo: Democratic League of Kosovo
Latvia: ZRP, non-ethnonationalist groupings of the National Alliance.
Liberia: Liberty or National Patriotic Parties.
Liechtenstein: Progressive Citizens' Party
Lithuania: Order and Justice or Christian Party.

Macedonia: VMRO–DPMNE
Malaysia: National Front
Malta: Nationalist Party
Mexico: National Action Party
Moldova: PLDM
Monaco: Rally for Monaco - National and Democratic Union
Montenegro: Movement for Changes
Morocco: Istiqlal Party
Netherlands: VVD, do agree with much of the PVV platform, sans their position on Islam.
New Zealand: National or ACT
North Korea: Would most likely be shot on arrival.
Norway: Progress Party
Poland: Law and Justice
Portugal: New Democracy, Social Democratic Party if they put up a decent candidate.
Romania: PD-L, PNL or PC
Russia: United Russia
Serbia: Serbian Progressive Party
Singapore: People's Action Party
Slovakia: Ordinary People and Independent Personalities
Slovenia: Slovenian People's Party
South Africa: No idea, maybe some minor party? Wouldn't have supported apartheid back in the day.
South Korea: Saenuri Party
South Sudan: Sudan People's Liberation Movement
Spain: People's Party
Sweden: Moderates, although quite reluctantly.
Switzerland: FDP or SVP, depending on the party manifesto and candidate at that election.
Thailand: Democrats
Turkey: Justice and Development Party
Ukraine: NUNS
UK: Conservatives until after the last election, UKIP now. Would still vote Tory if they had a decent candidate running. In Northern Ireland, I'd vote for the DUP.

Vietnam: People's Action Party of Vietnam

I'd vote for them before the other Russian parties, but I am aware of their corruption. Are there any non-corrupt Russian political parties?

Argentina: Radical Civic Union (they are all bad, but I'm not voting peronismo ever)
Australia: Australian Democrats
Austria: Social Democratic Party or People's Party (lack of better options)
Belgium (Flanders): OpenVld
Belgium (Wallonia/Brussels): Mouvement Reformateur
Canada: Liberal Party
British Columbia: British Columbia Liberal Party
Quebec: Quebec Liberal Party
Czech Republic: LIDEM – Liberal Democrats
Denmark: B - Radikale Venstre or Liberal Alliance
Finland: National Coalition Party (Centre Party too Eurosceptic)
France: UDI or MoDem
Germany: FDP, perhaps SDP
Greece: Democratic Alliance (DISY)
Hungary: Alliance of Free Democrats
Iceland: Bright Future
Ireland: Fianna Fail
Israel: Kadima
Italy: Scelta Civica
Japan: Democratic Party
Korea: Democratic Party
Mexico: Institutional Revolutionary Party or National Action Party (not a big fitter in my ideology, but the PRI is too establishment and PRD too left-wing)
Netherlands: D66 or VVD
New Zealand: National Party
Norway: Liberal Party or Conservative Party (for their Europeanism)
Poland: Palikot's Movement
Portugal: Social Democrat Party or Socialist Party
South Africa: Democratic Alliance
Spain: UPyD
  • Catalonia: Ciutadans
  • Basque Country: UPyD
  • Galicia: People's Party
  • Andalucia: People's Party (PSOE ruled awfully too long)
Sweden: Liberal People's Party
Switzerland: FDP. The Liberals or Green Liberal Party
United Kingdom: Liberal Democrats
  • Northern Ireland: Alliance Party
United States: Democratic Party

The Australian Democrats are largely non-existent these days, I can see you being a small l-liberal voter in Australia, voting for the likes of Malcolm Turnbull, although I can see you voting for Labor against the likes of Tony Abbott.

Why would you support the National Party in NZ? Labour seems like a better fit for you there.
