Preferred Parties- Worldwide

[Filuwaúrdjan]

North America:

Canada: NDP
U.S: Democratic Party in general... but "occasionally" not very happily...
Mexico: the Cardenas wing of the PRD

[Tetro Kornbluth]

France - UDP\CAP-21\Greens
Canada - Greens
US - Greens
Mexico - Not Sure
UK - Liberal Democrats
Russia - Union of Right forces
Germany - Greens or FDP
Israel - Unsure
Spain - Right now? PSOE
Ireland - Anti-Fianna Fail

That makes no sense whatsoever.

I'll do mine tommorow.

How so?

[they don't love you like i love you]

Because you support economically right wing parties in most countries but then the Greens here (have you ever read their platform?)

Yes. Voting for the Greens would be a protest vote for me If I lived in the United States. I would vote for the Democrats at a local level, but not nationally. Plus I'm not entirely against the economic left.

why? Hell you strike me as a moderate Republican, even to the right of them on many issues.

And the Green platform is not just economically left, it's completely unfeasible.

LOL. And what issue am I to the right of the Republicans? I'm on the left of the Democrats on many issues - especially foreign policy and attitudes to "morality".

I know the Greens platform is ultra-left wing on many economic issues but the greens aren't going to win power, are they? It's between them and the libertarians, and I think a $10 minimum wage is slightly less crazy than going back to the gold standard, no? (Cue Mac to enter to tell me I'm wrong and how the global economy was so much better in pre-big goverment days of 20s, yadda, yadda, yadda..)

[minionofmidas]

Europe first...

Britain: Greens, Liberal Democrats, Co-operative Party
Northern Ireland: APNI, SDLP, SF. That order.
Ireland: Labour, Greens
France: Plural Left rather than the PS on it's own. There are several reasons for this...
Germany: Greens, Left. Both are of course doing their very best to drive me away, but there's nowhere else they could drive me to.
Benelux: Socialists or Greens in Flanders, Liberals or Greens in Wallonie, SP or Greens in Netherlands.
Scandinavia: Probably DNA in Norway (historical reasons ), probably Greens in Sweden, Finland, Socialist Left in Denmark.
Italy: Greens or PdCI
Austria: Greens
Spain: PSOE. Esquerra in Catalonia
Portugal: What's that far-left party called? Only where they stand a chance to win a seat though, otherwise PS.
Switzerland: SP except where there's further-left alternatives able to win seats
Greece: Synapsismos
Moldova: Communists (!)
Turkey: HADEP or AKP

[??????????]

Any of the conservative parties. Sorry not to good with the names.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

You'd fit in the BNP.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

USA- Democratic Party

Northern Ireland: Sinn Fein without any doubt.
Ireland: Fianna Fail
France: UMP and the National Front fairly equally.
Germany: CDU/CSU

HOW would you fit into the greens in canada

Public schools.

I'm on the left of the Democrats on many issues - especially foreign policy and attitudes to "morality".

Then you've been paying crap attention to what the Democrats are doing on those lately. The Democrats are opposing the Iraq War and despite the idiotic claim you made before, a majority of Democrats did not support it originally (a majority of Democrats in Congress voted against it). The Democrats are not supporting the religious right (their entire agenda basically died with the Democratic takeover of Congress)

I also hope you aren't including tobacco under that "morality" label.

I know the Greens platform is ultra-left wing on many economic issues but the greens aren't going to win power, are they?

Making voting for them a waste of time.

[they don't love you like i love you]

Here's mine:

US: Democrats
Canada: NDP
Mexico: PRD
Britain: Tactical vote depending on a lot of factors
Northern Ireland: Tactical vote against both DUP and Sinn Fein
Ireland: Labour, but I'd be voting absentee from somewhere else in the EU since I'd NEVER voluntarily live in Ireland.
France: PS
Germany: SPD
Belgium: Whichever Socialist Party ran where I lived
Netherlands: SP
Norway: Labour
Sweden: Social Democrats
Denmark: Social Denmarks
Finland: Social Democrats
Iceland: Alliance
Italy: Democrats of the Left
Austria: SPÖ
Hungary: Socialists are lesser of two evils
Czech Republic: CSSD
Serbia: Democratic Party
Spain: PSOE
Portugal: Left Bloc
Switzerland: Probably would depend on which canton I lived in, and for federal elections wouldn't really matter anyway
Bulgaria: Socialists
Moldova: Communists
Ukraine: Right now Yulia Tymoshenko's bloc
Turkey: Republican Peoples' Party despite reservations

Countries I'm glad I don't have to vote in because all their parties suck:

Slovakia
Greece
Romania
Poland
Malta

[Hatman 🍁]

USA- Democratic Party
Canada-Liberals
UK- Lib-Dems
Panama- PRD

Not cool, dude.

[Gustaf]

I can add:

Malta: Worker's Party (whatever they're called)
Italy: Prodi's party
Poland: PO
Taiwan: DPP

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Malta: Worker's Party (whatever they're called)

Labour Party (Malta was a British possession after all ). Would that be because of their euroscepticism? The right-wing party in Malta is the Nationalists.

I did get that the Nationalist Party was to the right of the Labour Party, actually. Unlike some other people *cough* I don't always support the same side regardless of circumstances. And, yes, euroscepticism mostly. I also have a feeling that the right in Malta would be kind of ugly when it comes to morality issues and such.

Withdrawing from Iraq now isn't going to help things - indeed, it'd just complete the traditional cycle. Ensuring that US action under similar circumstances will not happen again would help things. Closing down Gitmo would help things.

I know the Greens platform is ultra-left wing on many economic issues but the greens aren't going to win power, are they?

Making voting for them a waste of time.

So you can only not waste a vote by voting for a party that can win? By that logic, isn't voting for anyone a waste of time, if the margin is larger than a single vote?

BTW, i'll probably make my list of preferred parties done sometime later today. I did about halfway earlier but forgot about it 'till now.

[Gustaf]

Bono, why do you support Fremskrittspartiet in Norway? They're xenophobic populists who want a massive expansion of the welfare state. Not what I'd expect from you.

I read they want to seriously dismantle the welfare state and make the economy more free market.

Hey, you might have mixed Malta up with Jamaica or something
