He'd not want to join the irrelevancy that is the Liberal Democrats because they won't win.

I'm thinking he'd form a new ur-SDP - schism Labour and maroon Corbyn out there in the lonely wasteland of Michael Foot's policy desert , and get most Liberal MPs to defect too.
 
If David Lloyd George were alive today, which political party would he support?

there is no way it would be the Conservatives or the BNP (or UKIP). Lloyd George has enough self belief that he could imagine leading any of the other 3 Parties to victory (excluding the greens). The question is would he limit himself to power in Wales.
This seems unlikely so it comes down to which Centre-left all-UK Party has the best chance of victory in the shortest time scale, and where is the first leadership vacancy going to occur?.
This is probably going to lead him to Labour.

The answer partly dspends in whether Lloyd George is coming to politics as someone completely fresh to politics but with similar beliefs to the real guy, or as someone with past experience in the Liberals as well,

if the former,, then either Labour or Lib Dem or possibly Plaid.

if he has a Liberal / Lib Dem past, he would stay with the Lib Dems - definitely. He was loyal to the party and would want to succeed even in the 21st Century.

An acquaintance of mine stood as a Liberal candidate in a hopeless constituency back in the 70s. an old man came up to her with tears in his eyes, saying he used to be Lloyd Georges gardener, and said how proud Lloyd George would have been of her.
