I'll probably hold my nose and vote EELV (least worst/not a racist party), although depending on what random lists prop up I might vote for one of them.

Related question. In which "interrégion" are voting the "Français de l'Étranger"?

Undecided. I don't like the main parties/coalitions running in my country. Likely testimonial vote: Equo (member of the European Greens) or something similar. It would depend if the latter run alone or in coalition with regionalist parties (and which ones).

I think Hash said elsewhere that he could vote in the Île de France constituency.

PES - the reality is in my constituency (North East) there's not enough seats for any Greens (let alone hard-leftists) to stand a chance, and the Labour candidates look reasonably good.
I'll never speak to you again.

Cheesy I wish we had a FdG to vote for. Sad

There was talk about being able to vote for the transnational party lists, which I was interested in (thinking GUE-NGL) but by the looks of things it's been forgotten.

EPP (Non-EU)

I feel the closest to the UK Conservatives but I don't like some of their xenophobic/homophobic/extremist partners in the ECR.

I think its really ridiculous that people in the UK are the only Europeans that cannot choose EPP.  Is there not some way to form a Euro-only party in the UK that is EPP-aligned so the 8 people who care could vote their conscience? Smiley

There's no reason why not; indeed it looks like these people (whoever they are [1]) may be planning on doing exactly that.  But I think they'd get a derisory share of the vote, as the Pro-Euro Conservatives did in 1999.  There simply isn't much of a market in the UK for right-wing pro-Europeanism, and these days most of what there is of one is catered for by the Lib Dems.

[1] Trawling a bit more, it looks like John Stevens may be involved.  He was a Tory MEP who left the party, was one of the people involved in the aforementioned Pro-Euro Conservative Party, was a Lib Dem for a time, and stood in Buckingham (the Speaker's seat, and Nigel Farage was also standing, so a highly abnormal contest) at the last election for the "Buckinghamshire Campaign for Democracy", where he somehow came second (beating Farage Smiley ) with over 20% of the vote, presumably by sweeping up the votes of people who don't like either John Bercow or Nigel Farage.

EDIT: I've now found their entry in the Register of Political Parties.  Their leader is indeed John Stevens.  Their Nominating Officer is Dirk Hazell, who stood as a Lib Dem in Chelsea & Fulham in 2010.  Their Treasurer is Marie-Louise Rossi, who stood as a Lib Dem in Cities of London & Westminster in 2005 and was "Parliamentary Spokesperson" for the Lib Dems in Buckingham (again) in 2010 (where they didn't actually field a candidate because it was the Speaker's seat).

And she is the daughter of Hugh Rossi, the last Tory MP for Hornsey in North London.
