Which European political party most fits the preceding poster's political views?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

SDP in his own country, maybe, or some of the other Germanic/Nordic mainstream socialist parties.

I want to say Italy's Social Christians but as pragmatic as Nathan is, I think he would join a much larger party so I should go with PS in France.

Aren't the Social Christians a faction within the Democratic Party these days?

For you, maybe the German Social Democrats or some Scandinavian centrist party. I could under very different actual circumstances imagine what the VVD likes to make itself out to be.

Europe at Large: uhm, wouldn't know, why not the Italian Democratic Party?

Increasingly I think the Italian Democratic Party would indeed be a pretty good fit for me.

ZuWo: SVP in his own country seems to fit quite well. Perhaps other such conservative Eurosceptic but not outright far-right racist parties, UKIP or others?

One of the Latin right parties, PP or UMP perhaps, PdL if it was less of a corrupt mess.
