US: Libertarian/independent
UK: UKIP (though if I ran for office, then as a Tory)
Northern Ireland: independent (vote Sinn Fein for Westminster, Alliance or stay home for Stormont)
Germany: FDP I guess, maybe The Republicans if they're close to the threshold and in Euro elections
Israel: If forced to stay, one of the Arab parties
Canada: Independent; probably stay home or protest vote; Tories if you put a gun to my head
Australia: Katter's outfit or some other protest vote I guess, Liberals are downright evil
Denmark: The Liberal Alliance sounds the best
Italy: Italian politics are awfully confusing, but probably one of the minor rightist outfits
Russia: Yabloko
France: independent; protest vote for the Lepenistes or one of those minor agrarian euroskeptic outfits
Ireland: Fianna Fail usually, mainly out of sentimentality
Switzerland: SVP (the only ones who opposed going off the gold standard, getting rid of banking secrecy etc.)
Austria: FPO or BZO (protest vote)
Sweden: Centre Party or Christian Democrats
Estonia: Reform Party
Netherlands: VVD, possibly PVV as a protest vote
Poland: Dunno, that Congress of the New Right thing seems intriguing bit also seems to have troubling associations
Spain: nationalists, probably reluctantly PP in Castile
New Zealand: ACT
Greece: no idea
Finland: Probably Centre Party
Portugal: CDS-PP
Belgium: Ethnic politics are always too confusing...

Do all our Republicans know the Australian Liberals actually banned gun-owners from joining the party?

Russian elections really aren't "elections" in the traditional Western sense of the term so much as an interesting exercise in direct democracy in which people are polled on which ideological direction they want the Kremlin to take.  The results are no doubt well-studied and taken into careful consideration.

I'm just saying who I'd vote for most often, not what party I'd actually join (I rarely would except for primaries or equivalents).  I'm also just basing this off Wikipedia descriptions where I'm unfamiliar with the politics of the country in question.

Argentina: Anybody but Kirchner and assorted Commies.
Australia: No.  If the Liberals repudiate their earlier gun policy I might reconsider.
Austria: Team Stronach
Belgium: Libertarian, Direct, Democratic and Reformist Movement
Canada: Conservative Party
  • Alberta: Wildrose
  • British Columbia: Liberals
  • Manitoba: Progressive Conservatives
  • New Brunswick: Progressive Conservatives
  • Newfoundland and Labrador: Progressive Conservatives
  • Nova Scotia: Progressive Conservatives or Liberals
  • Ontario: Progressive Conservatives
  • Prince Edward Island: Liberals
  • Quebec: Coalition for Quebec's Future
  • Saskatechewan: Saskatchewan Party
  • Yukon: Yukon Party
Chile: Rightists
Czech Republic: Civic Democratic Party
Denmark: Liberal Alliance
  • Faroe Islands: People's Party or Progress
  • Greenland: Solidarity
Finland: Centre Party
  • Åland: Not enough to go on based on Wiki descriptions.
France: No
Germany: Free Democratic Party or Alternative for Germany
Greece: Recreate Greece/Drasi/Liberal Alliance or Democratic Alliance
Hungary: No idea, although renamed-Communists are out of the question.
Iceland: Right-Green People's Party
India: lol
Ireland: Fianna Fáil
  • Northern Ireland: (Out with fascist occupiers! Tongue ).  Sinn Féin in general elections, Alliance for Assembly, though I'd consider the relaunched Tories or Fianna Fáil if they contest it.
Israel: Emigration
Italy: No idea.  Probably for whomever is more amusing between Berlusconi and Grillo.  Anyone but renamed-PCI also works.
Japan: Your Party I think...  I might go for DPJ last election if they're the only ones who oppose Abe's greenbacker retardation
Mexico: lol
Netherlands: VVD
New Zealand: ACT
Norway: Freedom Party
Portugal: CDS-PP
Russia: Yabloko
South Africa: Democratic Alliance
South Korea: Saenuri
Spain: People's Party or rightist regionalists
Sweden: Centre Party
Switzerland: Swiss People's Party (Don't like everything about them, but they're the only party to favor restoring the gold standard and to oppose further gun control)
Taiwan: KMT
United Kingdom: UKIP or anyone but Labour
United States: Libertarian or Republican with certain candidates/circumstances
  • Puerto Rico: Popular Democratic Party
Venezuela: Anybody but dead guy & friends
