A lot of guesswork here:

United Kingdom: Remain
United States: Gary Johnson (actual vote)
Netherlands: VVD
France: Filion/Marcon
United Kingdom: Liberal Democrats
France: Les Republicains
Germany: CDU
Italy: PD
Austria: NEOS



I can't imagine you being a supporter of a party as right wing as LR, especially given your support for PD in Italy.

You're leaning yes on Brexit and voting for the Liberal Democrats, so I think you would have to allow that people vote in ways that might appear vaguely inconsistent on face value.

I only Lean yes, and, furthermore, I just want the E. U. to be less of a bureaucracy and more of a democracy. We can't allow countries who won't slowly acclimate and let in the euro to remain, as they damage the democratization and centralization of the European Union.

-France: Presidential Emmanuel Macron (b/c he was the main centre-left candidate)
-France: Legislature En Marche! (b/c w/ the death of the Socialists, they're the main centre-left party)

No.

Yeah, Macron is to the right of Obama, Hillary, and all but one to four Democratic Senators.

United Kingdom: Remain
US: Bernie Sanders ("NOTA" in the actual election)
Netherlands: D66
France (President)Sad Emmanuel Marcon

UK (Legislature)Sad Tories
France (Legislature)Sad La République En Marche
Norway: Centre, or Labour
Germany: FDP, or some smaller party
Austria: SPÖ
Czech Republic: KDU-ČSL or the Social Democrats
Italy: PD

FDP?

He has some oddly centrist voting tendencies, somewhat similarly to MAINEiac.

-United Kingdom: Brexit Remain
-United States: Presidential Hillary Clinton
-The Netherlands: Legislature VVD
-France: Presidential Fillon/Macron
-United Kingdom: Legislature Conservative party Whatever fringe libertarian party is available
-France: Legislature Les Republicains
-Germany: Legislature Really don't know yet FDP
-Italy: Legislature Democratic Party
-Austria: Legislature ÖVP

Not supporting the Tories after May's shameless rejection of Thatcherism (and her authoritorian internet surveillance proposal also played a role). We need a small Tory majority so Thatcherite backbenchers can block some of her more leftist proposals.

I also decided to endorse the FDP in Germany.

I don't really get a LR/Hillary/Remain voter who wants to vote for a fringe libertarian party in the United Kingdom. Hillary is quite a bit to the left of May, the Conservatives, and many Liberal Democrats.

But you do concede May's economics are well to the right of Hillary's?

I would argue to you that Corbyn is twice the threat to liberal democracy than Trump ever has been. Trump spoke for a group of people that were hurting - Corbyn speaks for a group of radicals who wish to overthrow an order, not because of pain, but for the sake of radicalism.

the prime minister of the non-eu-member UK can never ever be a similar danger to freedom as the prez of the US, even if he is a total nutjob.
Yes, but Corbyn is far more dangerous than Trump. I don't consider Trump a major threat to freedom, liberties, and liberal democracy in general.

Changed my pick in Germany.

A FDP/Conservative/VVD voter shouldn't be voting for Le Pen.
