This took may way longer to make than it should have. Try and guess which Northern Irish election this is an analogy of.
Country roads, take me home
To the place, I belong
West VirginiaNorn Iron, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads...
As a Norn Ironer myself, I like this. Though I will say that Robinson is not Blankenship bad (I say as someone who made a point of never voting for him).
Blankenship is supposed to be Paisley, the latest election is a few Northern Irish elections behind.
-So what does the rise of the Democrats mean for the EU elections?
-Well, you've got to understand the nature of Canadian politics. People have a different mindset when looking at the provincial and national levels.
-Right.
-The EU election is somewhere in between: the election is held nationally on the same day, but each province is a constituency in the EU parliament. So all the provincial-level parties do the legwork, but form a common group based on their national affiliation once elected.
-And the Democrats are, in general, weaker on the provincial level.
-Exactly. The same issues that are driving right-wing Liberal and Unionist voters to the Democrats nationally aren't there provincially. But they're expected to do well in their strongholds like Alaska, where they've fanned ethnic tensions, and Saskatchewan, which is in the midst of an economic downturn.

"Reacting to the breakout success of parties like her own country's Canada Democrats, PM Sclavunos acknowledged the need to make the EU government more responsive and transparent. 'We can't solve 21st century problems with 20th century solutions. The European government needs to be effective when needed, otherwise we run the risk of flushing the last half-century of inter-European and inter-Atlantic collaboration down the drain.'"

Bonus: the ten largest cities in the European Union (as of 15 January 2018, defined by population living within city limits).

Lightshot is what I use and it is good and will always be.
Part of my Ontario partition spiel. A rump province consisting of Eastern and Central Ontario plus Ottawa.
Here is the election in short:
PCs led by Todd Smith--44 seats
Liberals led by David Henderson--11 seats
NDP led by Joel Harden--6 seats
Trillium Party led by Jay Tysick--4 seats
Plus the Smith Ministry as I see it.
I'm loving this series! I'd thought of doing something along these lines, but clearly I sat on it too long, haha. I assume this province ends at the border with Simcoe in the west, Durham to the Southwest, and Muskoka and Nipissing districts in the north?
I'm really happy you like them. The borders are almost bang on! I divided Simcoe County but otherwise you got it right. I've always thought alternate history needs more Canada.

@Yes You see this, this is the ideal American society. You may not like it, but this is what P E A K P I L L A R I Z A T I O N looks like.
I was reading a bit from John Bel Edwards' wikipedia page and to me he kind of seems like a Manchin 2.0 and with the way his career is going, maybe he will be...

I always wondered about this, why would Manchin not join the republicans? he seems to be to the right of some moderates there.
Couple of things: Unions, Healthcare and Education. Manchin is firmly in favor of all three
Fair enough, their isn't really any place for a pro-unionist conservative in the republican party is there?

So I was doing some absent-minded wikipedia reading and found out before he met Nancy, Reagan was considerably more to the left, even supporting Harry Truman. So naturally, that got me thinking --
Is this supposed to be hinting at a larger timeline? I think that there's a lot of potential for a left-wing Reagan timeline, the alternate 1980s and post-Reagan years could be interesting (maybe Reaganomics refers to a more egalitarian economic system?).So I was doing some absent-minded wikipedia reading and found out before he met Nancy, Reagan was considerably more to the left, even supporting Harry Truman.

There was a timeline where he became a representative and after that a senator in the 1950s, but it sadly never got finished
