UK: Depends on candidates and tactical issues, but not Conservative. LDs, Labour, Nationalist,                                      diverse indies...
N. Ireland: Has STV so I'll list in order: Alliance - SDLP - SF - UUP (unless anti-agreement) - DUP - TUV/any anti-agreement UUPers still left
Wales: Blaenau Gwent Independents. No really, see UK.
Scotland: Ditto.
Ireland: Has STV so I'll list in app. order (but depends on candidates to larger extent than can be shown here): Greens - Labour - sane FG members - sane FF members - SF - average or worse FG members - average or worse FF members - PD
Norway: DNA
Sweden: Greens, I guess
Finland: Not sure
Poland: Socialists
Greece: Syriza
Italy: wide range of minor left wing parties to chose from. PdCI sounds nice.
Switzerland: Greens (tactically SPS in smaller cantons)
Austria: Greens
Germany: Left or Greens
Holland: Socialists or Greens
Belgium: Greens
France: Gauche Plurielle
Spain: PSOE in most provinces, ERC in Catalonia, possibly not PSOE also in some other provinces
Portugal: What's it called? The newer far-left party. Socialists where that makes tactical sense.
Cyprus: AKEL
Malta: AD
Israel: Hamas.
Turkey: AKP or Kurds
India: Depends on tactical considerations, candidates. Not BJP or allies.
Pakistan: Awami Party
Japan: Democrats
Australia: Preferencing Labor over the Coalition, but probably third party.
NZ: Greens

Canada: NDP
Quebec: Also NDP
Puerto Rico: Popular Democrats
Jamaica: PNP
Mexico: PRD... at least most of the time...

Bolivia: Morales
Uruguay: what's it called again? Frente something.
Argentina: They still have real parties in Argentina? I think not...
Chile: Socialist

Jamaica: Labour

Nobody calls the JLP "Labour", and it would be quite misleading to do so.

Lewis, the NDP doesn't have a Quebec provincial wing.

But they're running in Quebec in federal elections. That's something, innit?

Yes, but I am pretty sure he meant provincial. Please don't cop out. I know there aren't any good parties in Quebec

Well then, not ADQ. Otherwise candidate-based but with a preference for voting third (fourth?) party or possibly not at all. Against independence in any referendum.

Quebec Solidaire maybe?

I did sort of support them last time around, yeah.

The Liberals are the only true federalist party, the Greens are indecisive on the issue... QS is separatist leaning, but are like the ADQ in that they really don't care. And then there's the "Equality Party"

That isn't my sole overriding concern, you know.

Fact: Wilders doesn't want any more muslims to come into the country.
Fact: Wilders doesn't want new mosques to be built. (no freedom of religion)
Fact: Wilders wants to the Quran to be forbidden.
Fact: Wilders attacks ministers of Turkish and Morrocan descent for having two nationalities and questions their loyalty to the Netherlands.

The problem is not that uneducated people don't listen to Wilders, the problem is that they do. He offers no solutions. He just keeps saying the same thing over and over again: it is ridiculous, it is a shame etc. There is no way to have a proper discussion with hem, because he only makes statements and doesn't react to other people's criticims beyond calling them 'soft' or a 'lefty'. They only thing Wilders is trying to do, is get attention from the media. And to attract attention he needs to make extreme statements, which insult a particular group of people and puts them aside as potential terrorists. Even people who are close to him politically (like DeWinter in Flanders) think he has gone too far on several occasions.

Yes.

No. The British equivalent would be certain politicians within both Labour and the Tories, plus the BNP.

Wallace Lawler was a Liberal.

You're right, the way I wrote that makes it sound as if I was trying to claim they were free of that sh!t, which I wasn't and they aren't.

Mein Kampf is banned in Germany, what's the difference?

I don't believe that in the U.S. you can hold more than one nationality and be in congress, and no one seems to mind that there. [/quote]
Of course you can.
