France - Eh, PS usually, one of the radical communists if I was in a safe district or there was no risk of a Chirac/Le Pen type scenario again.

Now you're confusing legislative and presidential elections.

Oh yes, India. Obviously, I could never support the BJP. The Congress is made of monarchists, so they're probably out. I don't like the Communist Party of Indira, and the CPI(ML) was practically a Pakistani fifth column in 1971.

But, of course, it all depends on the constituency.

Convergencia seems like the least bad, but I'll admit to not understanding Mexican politics at all.

Mexico: anyone but PAN and PRI under current leadership


Hm.That leaves

A. Greens. A private concern for renting out votes for pay. Currently charged w/ doing dirty jobs for the PRI.

B. New Alliance. Same as the above, but currently on hire (w/ a likely purchase option) to the teacher's union.

C. PRD/PT/Convergencia. Bascially, national socialists. PRD is simply fascist, PT pretends to be a bit more Commie (they have the red flag w/ the hammer and that old agricultural implement that Commies use all over the world), Convergencia is of a rather indeterminate nature: sort of a sidekick to one or both of the other two. The main difference as of today is that the current PRD leadership hates AMLO, while PT and Convergencia count on him preserving their electoral register.

No other options at present. So, I guess, PRD is brown enough for you.

In that case, I would be 100% independent in Mexico, voting for people based on issues and not giving a damn about what party they are.

Unless I'm mistaken, certain offices in Mexico use party-list proportional representation, which means that you would have to vote for a party.

That's just the personality cult of Bayrou, a conservative-turned-"centrist".

Israel: Labour? I completely zone out re: Israel/Palestine, so I know the names but nothing of the policies. Cept that the far right are destroying any chance for peace.

Labour is far right now.

     Ouch. So does that mean Hadash & Meretz are the only good parties left in Israel?

Basically. I prefer Hadash since it's non-Zionist.

The SVP doesn't even try to hide its racism. It's like the Mississippi Democratic Party around 1960.
