UK: Labour
US: Democrats
Northern Ireland: UUP or DUP
Republic of Ireland: No idea, all their parties seen... crap. Would've probably gone for Labour or FIne Gael last year. Anyone but Sinn Fein basically.
France: Socialist Party
Germany: Normally SDP, but probably would've voted Die Linke or Die Grunen in 2009
Netherlands: Socialist, former Labour, but would've been anyone's for the taking in 2010
Denmark: Social Democrats (Quite like Helle)
Spain: Socialist Workers PSOE
Austria: SDP, whoever was best placed to stop the FPO from being in government
Greece: Would've gone for PASOK in 2009. Like everyone else in Greece, i'd have no idea now, probably either Democratic left or Syriza.
Canada: NDP
Australia: ALP
New Zealand: Labor

yes Ping, I'm a Putin supporter Tongue


Also edited some of these. After further research I would never support the French National Front. So I put independent for France.

If you're not a fan of the National Front, you'd loathe the BNP.

Ireland: Green? Labour?
UK: Liberal Democrat
France: EELV, Far-Left, then Socialist
Switzerland: Greens
Belgium: Ecolo
Netherlands: GL

etc, etc

lol

I only put the Lib Dems on there for a matter of principle. Third Way Labour is unappealing to me, and the Greens seem quite week. Do I have another choice?

So, you'd vote for the UK's answer to Germany's FDP? Okay...

Well, what else am I supposed to pick? Running down the list:

Conservatives: Kinda socially conservative, support war in Afghanistan, raised tuition fees, want to continue to maintain current nuclear deterrent, some support death penalty. No.
Labour: Democratic socialists, and Blue Labour seems like it's making them worse. No.
British National Party: HPs and fascists. No.
Respect: Socialists. No.
Green Party: Not a green, not an ecosocialist. No.
UKIP: Pro-voucher, expand the military, opposes same-sex marriage. No.
Liberal Democrats: Anti-ID cards, want to review nuclear deterrent, increase school funding, cut size of Department of Health, educate/train prisoners, regulate CCTV, end DNA collection, treat rather than imprison drug addicts, inquiry into torture, no selling chemicals for use in the death penalty, and wants to reform the House of Lords (which seems to me to be a silly thing that could really be replaced by something like a Constitution/Supreme Court). Yes.

Actions speak louder than words.
