Callan: Dublin Harbour (This Great Stage)
Dublin Harbour is a parliamentary constituency represented by Kieran Doyle, who has served as Secretary of State for Defence and Chief Secretary for Ireland since 22 October 2018 in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the Commonwealth.
Dublin Harbour has historically been a heavily nationalist and left-wing area; the constituency covers a great deal of inner-city housing and industrial facilities north-east of the city centre. The Irish Parliamentary Party only lost political control of the area following the economic crash that was the Panic of 1924. It was reclaimed by moderate nationalist Alfie Bryne standing under the Constitutionalist Coupon of 1932 and the Radical coupon in 1936; he joined the Radical party upon its formation in 1939. Since then it has been a Radical-Sinn Fein marginal constituency; gentrification and urban renewal in the area led to great churn in demographics, with middle-class, federalist coming into the . It voted to Remain within the Commonwealth by a 52-48 margin in the 1975 Irish Independence Referendum, and narrowly voted for Independence by a 50-50 split in 1997 Independence Referendum. In the most recent Presidential Election, Leon Grady won 54% of the vote in the constituency, with former Sinn Fein Chief Minister of Ireland Colman Daire coming second with 34% of the vote.
At the most recent General Election, Sinn Fein went to great effort to try and defeat Kieran Doyle, the only Irish member of Helen Kendrick's Cabinet, in a campaign which saw heavy swings against the Radical Party across Ireland. Sinn Fein's focus on trying to scalp one minister at the expense of more winnable seats was heavily criticised in the aftermath of the election by party members and some MPs; it was alleged to have cost them seats and prevented a Radical wipeout in Ireland.

How do yog make a wiki box from scratch say on a mobile device or even on your standard mac
I don't know if it can be done on mobile. On mac it's the same as always: create a sandbox (don't save it when you're done or wikipedia will get you in trouble) make your infobox, screenshot it, post it here.
Stuyvesant: 2016 US Presidential election
The 2016 Election was marked by the Gaseous Updraft of F. Rack's Liberal Party, and the continued burnout of the "Oily" Republicans. Despite only a third place electoral vote showing for incumbent Progressive President Anthony G. Lowe, in the House Contingent election the Progressives (with Democratic and Future backing) gained the votes of most of the Liberal Party for Lowe, ensuring his reelection in exchange for Liberal Burns being supported by the Progressives in the Senate contingent election.
Archangel Michael: Virginia gubernatorial election, 2137 (AJND)
Virginia gubernatorial election, 2137 (AJND)
The state-wide off-year elections in Virginia are often taken as portents for the future of electoral politics in the United States. In recent years, the Democratic Party had enjoyed great success in Virginia due to the support of white collar government workers in the NoVA suburbs of D.C. and black and union laborers in the southeast. The Republican Party's base had been in the Shenandoah and Appalachians in the western counties, where towns and cities had been gentrified by affluent, white collar workers from the private sector, many of whom commuted to and from major out of state metropolitan areas like the Great Lakes Sprawl. However, the Democrats had begun to slip in elections as they lost support in the NoVA suburbs. Many voters were becoming increasingly concerned about the party's turn towards frontierst militarism and social conservatism. The twelve years of the Gibbs administration in the 2110s and '20s had shown that the Republicans had little interest in making large cuts to the federal bureaucracy, rendering common Democratic talking points rather moot.
The Republican Party had capitalized on this turn away from the Democrats. The state party has embraced modern suburbanism, adopting the common platform of government decentralization, social liberalism, school choice, law and order and the privatization of government resources in favor of cooperatives and mutual associations. In 2137, the party had a choice between former Representative Barney Albrecht and educator Braxton Chen. Albrecht, a former four-term Congressman, was a traditional paleo-con and deficit hawk who wanted to slash budgets, spending and taxes while trying to stay above the culture war divide. Chen had a long career in higher education, serving as the Deputy Secretary of Education under President Gibbs in the 2120s, Chancellor of the United States University at Richmond and now President of the College of William & Mary, and was also a frequent guest on the Sunday morning talk shows. He argued for responsible spending and taxes, but took a far more radical approach to the privatization of state welfare agencies, and what was supposed to be a close primary turned into a rout as Chen won by almost 20 points.
The Democratic primaries were far more contentious, and featured a three-way battle between the different factions of the state party. Many within the party wanted to embrace suburbanism as a counter to the Republican Party, and they were supported by the Progressive Party and former U.S. Attorney-General Jordyne Blythe of Arkansas, who endorsed former U.S. Attorney Orren Barbour for governor, while the he party establishment and Big Labor quickly rallied behind Communications Workers of America state president Emma Soper. However, the winner of the primary turned out to be Deanne Ebersole, a former member of the City Council of Norfolk. Ebersole became known for sponsoring city ordinances that would restrict housing opportunities for non-humans and would nationalize phones in the city. The primary became dirty and contentious, especially when the Pioneer Alliance (which has never really gotten involved in Inner System politics) began to support Ebersole with money. Neither Barbour nor Soper were willing to drop out to unify the anti-Ebersole voters into one bloc, allowing Ebersole to eek out a close victory in a divided election.
It's a surprise that Ebersole managed to keep the election as close as he did given her controversies. She managed to offend wide swaths of the electorate with her statements and positions, but she was buoyed by tribal Democratic voting in the southeast and the north. Chen ran a simple, fastidious campaign and largely let Ebersole implode. The President and Vice President didn't campaign for Ebersole, while Blythe didn't just support Chen, but campaigned for him. Everyone was shocked when early returns showed that Ebersole was winning, but she was swamped by northern and western Virginia suburban voters. Many political commentators have written about the election, casting doom on the Democrats, not just in Virginia, but elsewhere across the Inner System. On Luna and Venus, Democratic voters have similar demographics to northern Virginia, but there are reports from the DNC that they are willing to sacrifice suburban voters for running up the score on the frontier.

It's somehow curious to think of the Glorious Space Frontier Retrofuture Happening but also there's still the Governor of Virginia and maybe they get on a spaceship some day.
I'm not sure why.
I'm not sure why.
Even when some atomic necromancer on a rock five billion miles away is summoning Cthulhu to feast on the dreams of his enemies, the people of Virginia will sleep safe in their beds under the impression that the most pressing issue in their life are fees for HOV lanes
And because AJND is nothing if not subtle, this is what her PAC is running with to get her to run for President

A Split in the Sodium Continent: The Drums of War I
"In shocking news today, the president of New York has announced that they will be holding the Scranton Territory until the Baja Revolution ends in California. However, Californian president Jerry Brown disagrees with the action; we will be giving you live updates shortly."
-Brian Williams, North American News Network, May 20, 2017
"Saying that New York is 'borrowing' the Scranton Territories is like saying Dan Cooper 'borrowed' $200,000"
-Bill Maher, May 20, 2017
"This is insanity! The people of Vermont cannot stand being a part of this...this warmongering caused by incompetence!"
-Bernie Sanders, May 21, 2017
"This is the calm before the storm."
"Damn, and we just joined!"
"We cannot allow a second North American war, the division that followed the first one will show again in full force"
"Schumer's stupidity is making me respect Sanders."
"Don't say that too loud, he'll come after you."
"At least you guys are less crazy then New Hampshire..."
-Conversation between Willard Romney, Anda Uldum, Rafael Cruz Sr., John Hagelin, and Jeanne Zeidler
Next: While the War Drums are booming, the ukuleles of Portland are playing in the background.

You just set the link to a page that is existent so if you click it it will not link to your made up link/wikipedia page or whatever but it will look like it exists.
Hey does anyone know how to make or is there a generator for making Wikipedia style opinion polling graphs? I've searched everywhere and I can't find it on wikimedia tools or anything.

Turquoise Blue: 1936 House election (CoD)
Here's a fun House election from The Crossroads of Destiny. I basically chose the leaders myself, but everything else is from the source.
Citizen's Choice was basically an Macronist-y centrist wiffly-waffly party that's all about unspecified "change". Somehow, it convinced the SDP, Columbians and Nationalists to ally with it as Vox Populi, a coalition essentially based around "we don't like the duopoly". It managed to elect a Speaker in 1934, that of Louis Orleans, the Macron of this party. In 1936, he's elected President, somehow.
The Progressive-Republicans were the "normal" left-wing-ish party that under J. Edgar Hoover [yes, that J. Edgar Hoover] has managed to bring prosperity back to a Depression-struck America. Do they get credit for it? Hell naw, they managed to be portrayed as corrupt [well...] by the incoherent Vox Populi coalition which ended up kicking them out of power. Hoover was killed by FBI Director Huey Long when the earlier plotted to kill Orleans, after he denied Hoover a place in the runoff, to prevent him from getting to power. And by the way, Hoover and Orleans were on-off gay lovers that hated each other at the time. Yes.
The Conservatives, the party of Jay Gatling [yes, that Jay Gatling] the president who oversaw the economically-troubled 20s turn into a big Depression under his watch, were unpopular and faced themselves quickly undermined by the rise of the Social Credit Party. They would eventually fold into the SoCreds in all but name as the "Social Conservative Party" in 1952.
Social Credit was basically a meme party, but I've given it an actual American economist who advocated Social Credit thinking. They ended up implementing Social Credit in the 1950s, to predictable results.
The Social Democrats were America's left-wing labor-unionist and anti-capitalist party. So why did they ally with American Emmanuel Macron? IDK, maybe anti-establishment-y sentiment?
The Columbian Party was basically... um... Well, vaguely nationalistic, I guess? I never figured out what they were. Hearst was their running-mate in one of the elections, so I put him here.
The Nationalists were basically an isolationist left-wing and hard-nationalist party. Basically Huey Long, except Huey Long isn't here. I made Lemke their leader because he was the Union Party nominee in 1936.
The Rexists were a far-right party and completely irrelevant.
