US: Most Democrats would be getting my vote if in a close race or absolutely no acceptable alternative is listed on the ballot. (see my Senate endorsement history for how this might look)
UK: One of those places where I need to look at candidates and who can win, in approximate order of Green-Nat-LD-assorted Trot-Labour. Which probably means Labour in about half the constituencies...
France: Green? Obviously locals and parliamentary elections you need to look at candidates again. The smaller evil in runoffs.
Germany: Usually Green or Left. Not really content with either, still more closely identifying with the Greens. Voted Pirate as a protest recently, not really intending to make a habit out of it.
Italy: I want the First Republic's voting system back (if not much else about it). I think I'll make a commitment to that a condition for voting for the main center-left candidate in any first round  election.
Spain: PSOE. We have no alternatives (except Esquerra and BNG and such. And EA.)  and Zapatero seems highly decent for a major party leader.
Catalunya: Esquerra (see above)
Israel: Meretz or an Arab party.
South Korea: they're all awful. Militant South Korean unionists are cool, though.
Japan: DPJ in most single-member constituencies. DPJ or some fringe outfit for lists.
Canada: NDP
Australia: Green
South Africa: ANC
India: not for any party currently allied to the  BJP in the state in question.
Poland: SDA still around?
Chile: Socialists
Brazil: I can never remember enough about the various parties to comment for sure. Would have voted for Lula though.
Denmark: Socialist Left
Netherlands: Socialist or GreenLeft. D66 have been working with the right a couple times too often now.
Mexico: PRD but would had to swallow very very hard indeed before voting for AMLO.

Germany - That joke neo-Stalinist party. For the lulz.

MLPD?

MLPD is, basically, the one of our old Stalinist sects that has survived and is here to stay. It used to be once upon a time, assemble a dozen Stalinists who've broken with East Berlin, and you've the total membership of eleven Stalinist parties and the total former membership of 36 defunct Stalinist parties.
The (late) chairman of the group it evolved out of was a concentration camp survivor (and a Remscheid KPD city councillor at the tail end of the Weimar Republic), and I've mentioned that on here, so I guess you're thinking of that.

SDPL is the party I'd been thinking of, apparently.
