Keep in mind that the choice itself is summarized in the game as follows: Stability versus instability. You're not implicictly supporting someone by choosing to support no one, the question really comes down to "is stability or instability more beneficial to our currentl situation"

So say for example you want the New Unionist Party to grow, how would instability help them accomplish that? We also want to avoid the People's Action Party and the Divine Claw getting more power, how does instability help us accomplish that? Keep in mind that once Zirantia destabilizes Yhilin does not have the resources to go over and deal with it, so whichever party is better capable of dealing the the instability is the one that comes out ahead, and the New Unionist Party is in no position to deal with the political instability. That leaves just the parties we DON'T want to win.

Also keep in mind it's highly unlikely that just because the Doom King endorses them that the Old Zirantian League is suddenly going to stabilize the entire country and fix all the problems, it's a temporary bandage on an infected wound that will just help maintain the status quo a little longer, rather than have it collapse there and then because the OZL just wasted a bunch of resources on bringing over a foreign power that then didn't even endorse them.
