Germany - CDU/CSU, though some of the far rightists could get a vote here or there.
Spain - PNV
Portugal - PP most likely
France - Toughie, FN most likely
Italy - Lega Nord or Forza Italia
Australia - Family First for Senate, Liberals or Nationals for the rest
Canada - Christian Heritage unless my riding was close
United Kingdom - UKIP for Euro, Tories/SNP/Plaid/Sinn Fein depending on where I lived, locally the BNP could get a few votes.
Ireland - Fine Gael here, Sinn Fein possibly

really? I thought you'd be more for Fianna Fáil since they're the huge anti-EU folks. And you'd vote for the socialist Sinn Fein?

I dislike the FF leadership and a stronger Sinn Fein means stronger push for unification.

Portugal - PP
France - Front National (Nationalists)
Italy - Lega Nord or Forza Italia

many of those parties are hardly mainstream. Front National are Nazi sympathizers whose candidate lost to the mainstream conservative party's candidate in the run off (yes, Chirac is a conservative, whether you like him or not), and Lega Nord are crazy, racist seperatists. UKIP aren't exactly mainstream either since as far as I know they don't have a single seat in Parliment as of yet.

If they have significant presence in the country's politics, I counted them. The UKIP did very well in the EU elections and will have an affect on the Westminster Elections and the FN holds a significant portion of the French Assembly.  Lega Nord is in the same boat as the FN.

SPD are Social Democrats=Socialists so yes, though the Party of Democratic Socialism may also be a party you'd vote for.

Jake you must learn the difference between Conservative/Rightist parties and neo-fascist parties. The Front National in France is a Nazi sympathizing, neo-fascist movement. Their politics are more towards the populist end than the conservative end of the political spectrum. The same is true of the Lega Nord in Italy which is more of a populist, neo-fascist party than a Conservative Party. The more obvious choices are the Alleanza Nacionale, Biancofiore, or (rather oddly) the New Italian Socialist Party in Italy. You have to see that not every party they label as being on the "right" is actually conservative or right-winged instead of authoritarian.

I know the difference which is precisely why I'd vote BNP/UKIP over the Tories. Both Lega Nord and Front National are needed in a Europe overrun with Muslims and about to form a superstate controlled from Brussels.
