I'm a registered Democrat, but I've become extremely disillusioned, and I find myself leaning more towards the Green Party or even an Inderpendent. I vote all across the board, but I mostly stay towards the left.

I don't affiliate myself with any particular party. I'm definitely left-leaning, however, so in practice I usually go with either the Liberal party or the NDP, depending on any number of factors.

Left. Way left. According to the political compass we did on the old boards, I'm the most left leaning of all the members there, and consequenly, here.

If anyone wants to see that again, I still have it saved.

Me? Leaning left. Been voting Left Alliance, Social Democratic Party, Pirate Party and once even the Communist Party on different elections.

Not a member of any, and we don't register here (as voters and so on). One just gets notification in the mail telling that there is poll/voting coming up and telling the pre-voting and voting times/places as long as one turns or already is 18 by the day the actual voting is taking place.

Which reminds me... I still have no idea who shall have my vote this January *sigh*

Not a member of any party either and I've usually voted for the Left Alliance or Green Party. In the coming presidential election maanantai mentioned I will probably vote for the Green Party candidate Pekka Haavisto.

Added my leaning @ -3.33,-7.50. I'm mostly a supporter of the left.

I refuse to have a political affiliation.  The political spectrum has done nothing but divide the people of America against themselves.

I don't have a party affiliation as I feel the two major parties are way too far to the right, and that's even when I ignore just how leftist I am with politics. I've found that the saying "reality has a liberal bias" is true, and I go with what actually works for obtaining the goals I desire; chiefly being equality.

Unfortunately, because the US is effectively a two party state for most positions in most locales (there are exceptions, but they are rare) I end up voting Democrat even though I don't want to, simply because the Republicans are just that horrendous. However, I will be changing this habit, as I can no longer justify support of some Democrats as I find their actions to be morally reprehensible. Because of this I will be writing in Steven Colbert for president, unless I am able to find someone I can find someone better who would possibly accept the position (only reason why I chose Colbert over Stewart).

Green Party because I don't think a 2 party system works. I hope it gets elevated along with the Libertarian Party and Socialist party.

@Viking- link to party website?

I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

Independent.  I'm kind of inbetween on fiscal issues, and don't really agree with either side.  However, I'm very liberal with social issues, i.e. pro-choice, pro gay marriage, etc.

Another part of the reason I'm an independent is because I think our current system is completely fubar.  Between only 2 parties that ever get someone elected and politicians on both sides being constantly sold to lobbyists and corporations, there's really no party of the people.
