Anglosphere and Mexico:

United States of America: Republican Party
United Kingdom: Conservative Party OR Liberal Democratic Party
Canada: Conservative Party
Australia: Liberal Party
New Zealand: National Party OR ACT New Zealand
India: BJP (no idea what the acronym is)
Mexico: National Action Party

You'd be tempted by the lib Dems?Huh
A little bit,  yeah. From what I know,  they're not as far-left as Labor, and they do support a smaller government. Plus, they're the successor to the Whigs, who I like.

Good on you for catching that. I meant VVD, however I could see myself voting PVV if they weren't anti-immigrant stances.

Literally nobody would even consider voting for Radikale in Denmark while voting for the PVV in the Netherlands. You'd probably vote for the VVD in the Netherlands.

Denmark: Venstre
Australia: Liberal party

VVD in the Netherlands. I am not that enthusiastic about Rutte 2, and I might consider CDA or VNL in the next election but I will probably still end up voting for the VVD.

Lol. Why the "Social Liberal wing of FG" in Ireland when you go far left in other countries?

Try this for a decent  Irish centre-left option:

Update time:
USA: Republican Party
Canada: Conservative Party
U.K.Sad Conservative Party
Israel: The Likud (with The Jewish Home and Kulanu being my 2nd and 3rd preferences)
Australia: Liberal Party
France:  Les Républicains (Change from Independent) (I would support Valls if he ever becomes leader of PS, though)
Japan: Liberal Democratic Party
Russia: Independent
Czech Republic: Civic Democratic Party (I've supported some figures on the Czech left, like Milos Zeman, so party affiliation here would be a very loose label for me)
Denmark: Venstre (somewhat reluctantly. I supported Helle Thorning-Schmidt in the summer elections, but I clearly lean center-right in Denmark. Torn between numerous policy planks of Venstre and DPP now, as I've drifted more rightwards, but am very weary of DPP)
Turkey: Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) (Easy choice for me. Secular and Pro-Kurds).
India: BJP (#TeamModi)
Azerbaijan: New Azerbaijan Party
Argentina:  Propuesta Republicana (PRO)
Netherlands: VVD or VNL (Not sure which one too support. I'm distrustful of VVD and of PVV, who is too extreme for me...)
Spain: Independent (I've decided to cease my support for PP. I am strong supporter and fan of Jose Maria Aznar. Clearly Mariano Rajoy is nowhere near the type of leader that Aznar was)
Italy: Democratic Party (PM Renzi is truly a G-dsend of a leader, imo. I believe Bersculoni, all and all, was an ok PM, but he and the center-right of Italy left a mess and Renzi is cleaning it up)
Norway: Progress Party
Sweden: Swedish Democrats (One of the few countries where I can justify myself in supporting a super controversial party such as this one.)
Germany: CDU (I have increasingly become more and more eurosceptic, but CDU is generally a stable party that is good on other issues I care about)
Venezuela: Mesa de la Unidad Democrática (MUD)
Ireland: Fine Gael, I guess.
Mexico: PAN
New Zealand: National Party

I'm sure I'll add more soon.

Australia: ALP, in the Albanese/Socialist Left faction. I'm not a fan of Green parties in general but I'd preference them above Labor in certain divisions.
Austria: SPÖ; very much on the left of the party.
Canada: NDP federally, QS in Quebec, NDP in all other provinces I think
Denmark: Probably Red-Green
Finland: SDP
France: Blah...probably the Socialists but not exactly a loyalist.
Germany: Pirates are the most serious of the parties on the left here, so.
Greece: SYRIZA
Ireland: That hard-left alliance bunch who are registering half-decent support at the moment.
Italy: SI
Mexico: No.
Netherlands: SP, and blimey, are Wilders' lot really doing that well at present?!
New Zealand: Labour has always been pretty good here...aside from the Rogernomics fiasco.
Norway: SV
Sweden: Social Democrats
Switzerland: Ditto
UK: On the right of the Hard Left of the Labour Party.
US: Independent, obviously. Would vote for the Warrens, Sherrod Browns and Bernie types but not for the Warners and the Manchins.

Updated list (too lazy to search my old post back there somewhere)

Austria: ("other country"?) Quite torn indeed somewhere between Greens, KPÖ and SPÖ, the latter mostly for historical and anti-Strache reasons. Probably would have voted for one of those recent pseudo-socialist no-name (Europa/Wien...)Anders options that no one gave a f about, and then be angry with me for wasting my vote... So, in the end the Greens are probably most finding, though not really enthusiastically and kind of out of lack of better options

Germany: Greens or SPD, the latter one probably once they exchange Gabriel and Steinbrück and all those old male horribles for Kraft
Switzerland: Greens, probably
Czech Republic: Social Democrats, I guess
Slovakia: also Social Democrats
Hungary: LMP seems nice enough, but any non-Jobbik anti-Orban thing will do
Slovenia: Since I'm absolutely no fan of personal party apparatus (a.k.a every single Slovenian party that can do stuff), and the Social Democrats matter as little as they do, this ZL (United Left) party it is, probably
Italy: I'm not the ultra fan of Renzi, but credit where credit is due, so a PD under him is probably as good a choice as any
  • South Tyrol: Greens, or maybe even SüdTiroler Freiheit, weren't it for their neo-nazi issues
Switzerland: Greens

UK: since a certain Mr. Corbyn popped up, Labour, at least in England and Wales
  • Scotland: SNP
  • NI: Sinn Fein
France: EEV
Spain: Podemos
  • Basque Country: EH Bildu
  • Catalonia: CUP
Greece: SYRIZA, though I'd rather take a bullet to my head than any of these horrendous options, actually
Netherlands: SP
Iceland: Pirate Party
Sweden: Greens
Denmark: this new Alternativet thing sounds not too bad, otherwise Red-Green

Australia: Greens in Melbourne or wherever they have a real chance, ALP everywhere else
Canada: New Democratic Party
New Zealand: Greens

USA: Independent, leaning Democrat (meaning effectively that)

Chile: PS
Japan: SDP

Do they really, though? They're all vaguely anti-America/West/democracy/capitalism, and most of them are communist or some other far-left ideology.

The only change I would make to this is Venstre for Denmark instead of Conservative, Les Républicains instead of UMP for France and flirting with AfD in Germany.
