Australia: Since preferential voting allows it, some random left-wing indies, Greens or Labor first, which would amount to Labor on the 2PP.
Brazil: None, as parties have no coherent ideology there. But, obviously, I support the left, which is often PT.
Canada: New Democratic Party, I'm even a member of them.
Québec: PQ. Not than I like them, but Charest must leave, and CAQ is way too right-wing. It's the lesser evil. For the ones wondering "Why not QS?", some of their policies would be very harmful to the economy.
Finland: Left Alliance or Social Democratic Party. In the situation of this year presidential election, Green League.
France: Usually socialist, depending of the voting system, the candidates,and the risk of a left-wing elimination by the first round, I may support PCF, EELV, PRG or other random left-wing indies
Germany: Die Linke, Greens or SDP, depending on what is the smartest for a left-wing coalition. Greece: Some left-wing party (so, NOT PASOK, which sold out to the CDU). I lost track of parties there, the political landscape is quikly evolving.
Ireland: Labour Party, but I may my preferences for other left-wing candidates first. Depends on the context and the candidates.
Israel: Labor, as the only left-wing party which can take power.
Italy: Left. Sure, it isn't a party, but it's complicated there. I like SEL and IdV, but the context and the candidates are important. Anyways, they'll sit together in any case.
Japan: Communist (which are to the right of Social Democrats) or DP.
Korea, Republic of: Democratic United Party
Mexico: PRD or PRI, depending of circumstances.
New Zealand: Labour or Greens, depending of circumtances.
Norway: Norwegian Labour Party, obviously
Russia: As it isn't a democracy, is voting is important?
Spain: PSOE. Perhaps IU or regionalist parties in some cases.
Sweden: SDP, again
Switzerland: The socialist one, which has 3-4 names, like other big Swiss parties.
Ukraine: No clue. Not the incumbent party, as he jailed his oppoent under dubious charges.
United Kingdom: Labour, through probably LibDems from 2003 to 2010, for protesting New Labour and because I didn't know the truth about them. Replace LibDems by SNP if in Scotland, Salmond seems quite competent.
United States: Democratic Party. I obviously think they are too right-wing, but given the system used to vote, I don't have a choice to oppose Republicans.
