This poll clearly has an anglophone touch to it...

... and it's rather symptomatic that the first option is "England".

I'm firstly interested in Spain for the obvious reason that is the country where I live, even though oftentimes I get easily bored with the politicking here. Secondly, because this time the election is going to be genuinely interesting. In Europe, UK because of its generic importance. I don't feel enthusiastic right now, but I hope that the campaign will provide some exciting stuff. I'll keep an eye in Portugal as well. Politics in Argentina is weird but fascinating (especially if we talk of Peronist factions) and this year's will be a competitive election for once. I have personal interest in the new UNEN Front; my hope is they will be able to reach the 2nd Round. Mexico, regardless if the PRI stays or not in power, is always a must see. As of late, I took an interest in Turkey. Even though the AKP dominance will likely remain unchallenged, the emergence of a new Lefitst-Kurdish alternative would please me.

Voted "other" (meh).

And England is first because their election is in May. Canada has theirs in October.

You forgot the next United Kingdom general election. It's in May Wink

Elections in Burma should be a matter of general interest too.

Spain has PODEMOS and IU on the left, hardly centrist parties  - and I wouldn't exactly call Harper's Tories centrist either Smiley.

Well, it depends on how do you define what is a centrist party. In Spain we have a wide range of political forces. There is not a standard centrist /social liberal party in the style of the Canadian Liberals or the British Lib Dems, that's for sure. PP is certainly not on the centre, despite having some moderates like other liberal-conservative mass parties. Other parties, however, might be closer to the centre of the spectrum.
