Yes or no?

No, but I have deep sympathies for the French Left Party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_Party_(France)) and its founder, senator Jean-Luc Mélenchon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Luc_Mélenchon).

Yes. I belong to the Constitution Party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Party_%28United_States%29). I disagree with their Christian focus, but they're the only viable US party that is able to combine fiscal conservatism, strong personal liberty, limited immigration, military non-interventionism, etc. into a workable platform.

I used to belong to the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada, which no longer exists and I am not a fan of Stephen Harper or the Conservative Party of Canada so I won't join that. Considered joining the Liberals but I don't like the leaders they pick (Dion, barf, Ignatieff, double barf!)

Lega Nord.

Padanian Indipendentism , rightwing ethnonationalism of Brembana's Valley and social conservative Waldensians way of life, and in the future... Celtoliguria Will Rise Again!

I used to be a Republican, but now I'm a Libertarian on paper, and an Independent at heart.

I do not belong to a specific political party as I believe with 100% confidence that in the United States those who belong to political parties are expected to adhere 100% to the doctrine spewed out by those running for office within said parties. I rather stand for the Constitution and support those who seek to do the same.

Not really, the 2 parties just just conglomerates of assorted groups who argue amongst eachother almost as much as with the 'other side'

Those two parties tend to have some sort of "curriculum" and it usually does not flow with mine.

In case you're unsure which party to join here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_political_parties) is an almost complete list.

There is currently absolutely no political party or political option in general appealing to my taste or even remotely conform with my political views, so no. Nor I am considering joining a political party. I don't even vote, let alone joining a party.

Just join the Send `Em Back Where They Came From Party.

And I will give my freshly earned quarter to the person who knows where that name originated. ;)

Never been involved in a true institutionalized classic party , I've just done a little militancy in Lega Nord (a borderline party/movement) and Forza Nuova (a far rightwing movment) a few years ago , nothing special eh , I was still in my 20s and have done stuff like distributing leaflets , taking part in rallies , talking in the university and so on , but then I got fed up , none of them really fitted my ideals however I'd recommend it to everyone because it make you learn how politics works "behind the scene" and not just how they present themselves publicly and it's also a way to socialize and know people from different backgrounds.

If I were an American I would vote for the Libertarian Party or the Constitutional Party but probably join the first.

I've considered the Libertarian Party in the past, they do seem a bit saner than the other two. I foresee them doing better in the next election due to folks wanting to distance themselves from the increasingly retarded religious fundies in the Republican party. I especially like their non-interventionist stance and ending foreign aid. I'm not entirely sold on the free market thing though.

No such animal, even the “representative” version stretches the limits to the dizzy heights of stupidity. I think our Prime Minister represents only one of several of the voices in his head.....

As for the question, not anymore, I used to be a member of the BNP, I would probably still vote for them despite believing the British political process is now largely pointless and increasingly redundant.

No, I am not a member of any political party and nor do I believe I ever will be. However, I used to be registered with the Youth branch of the British Communist Party :D!

If you choose Republican or Democrat you're only contributing to the issues.

So, does that mean you support one of the 3rd parties?

I guess you could say that.
I think morality, rather than loopholes in the system, should be the governor of all nations.
It may sound contradictory but I consider myself a constitutional anarchist.
The anarchist part will go away after our government starts doing right.

But...that is not a political party. I asked if you supported a 3rd party. You said, "I guess you could say that." I know of no officially recognized parties in the US that combine constitutionalism with anarchism. If this is a real party, or if others beside yourself share this perspective, would you mind providing some kind of source? :)

I guess I'm the only one.
Do I need a source to be a one person party?
:/
I have no funding, no meetings, no members, and no backing whatsoever.

If I HAVE to pick, I'd go with Libertarian.
I'd go with Constitution party, but I don't believe our law should be based off of anything biblical.

I am a member of the BPF Party (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partyja_BPF). Honestly it sucks. I'm thinking of deserting to the Conservative Christian Party of the BPF (http://www.pbpf.org/index.php?&lang=en) after the local elections. Unnecessarily much Russophobia, in my opinion, but everything else seems okay. It is way better than any other Belarusian political party I can think of.
