* nominally but not necessarily a partisan supporter
** in a previous thread I was corrected on my perception of this party based on the Catalonia issue, but I would still support them as an alternative to the disgracefully corrupt PP
*** nominally but often support politicians from other parties as well
**** Likely the most extreme party I "support." I mainly support it on foreign policy issues and some social issues. Not a fan of its economic agenda and am uncomfortable with some of the rhetoric on opposing Radical Islam (but I generally think most of the criticism is spot on and needed)
***** Another rare case where I align with a populist party. Same reasons for support as with PVV and also same concerns.
****** Despite always having an interested in Macedonia, due to friends I have there, I had always strayed away from picking a political side. However, I now most certainly lean towards the Social Democrats.
******* Decided to stick with the Democrats even in a post-Renzi Italy. I am firmly opposed to the current populist regime (specifically opposed to 5 Star Movement + League) and the Democrats are the only legitimate landing spot for now. I hope Forza Italia and Us With Italy have a large voice in the government, but atm I can't support the overall coalition.

Countries where my voting preferences are very fluid:

Greece: I currently support left-wing Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his SYRIZA party. His economic pragmatism and reasonable foreign policy impresses me. However, whenever he is out as PM and party leader I'll likely shift my support to New Democracy.

Ireland: Renua currently has my support. Former supporter of Fine Gael, but I cannot ever support Leo Varadkar. His betrayal of the pro-life movement, his antagonistic view towards the UK during Brexit negotiations and his indefensible defense of Eamon de Valera (whose "neutrality" during WW2 included sending condolences to germany after Hitler's death) disgust me.

[America Needs R'hllor]

These are the countries where I know the politics enough to make a decision. If this gets stickied, I shall update it as I learn more.

Israel: Zionist Union*
United States: Democratic Party
Canada: Liberal Party
Australia: Liberal Party**
United Kingdom: Liberal Democratic Party***
France: La République En Marche!
Germany: Free Democratic Party
Italy: Democratic Party (PD) or More Europe (+E)
Netherlands: Democrats 66
Turkey: Republican People's Party (CHP)
Spain: Citizens
Portugal: Socialist Party
New Zealand: National Party

* Labour and the ZU are generally collapsing, so still no idea what will be the party composition come 2019 and who will I support. Right now, it's still reluctantly Labour because of no better options.
** Limited to PM Turnbull and his moderate wing of the party. Otherwise I'd probably support Labour.
*** Very reluctant support since they're such a mess and are generally anti-Israel. Chose them because of the Brexit issue and the alternatives.
