My plan after this is Fiji and New Guniea but sure because New Zealand would be the easiest to do for me it could very easily happen after this

What will you do after them? My suggestions would be: East Timor, West Papua, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Niue, Cook Islands, Tokelau, (et, cetera, other Oceanic countries).
And then after that will you do proposed states within current Australia. North Queensland et cetera.
Seriously? You used Kezia Dugdale as that made up character? Lol
machinekng: 2017 French legislative election
Sunday's results were monumental in the Kingdom of the French. It was clear that the Feuillant Club, led by Macron and Dupont-Aignan, would lead in seat count. While only having an absolute majority in parts of Western France, the Feuillants have been leading the overall polls between, and with a broad support across the Kingdom they could easily come first in many of the departments. What was surprising was how many Girondin-led seats flipped to the Feuillants. While many had called Macron a traitor for leaving the Girondin and taking his parliamentary group with him, it seems that the French electorate was also eager to abandon the Girondin, and The Mountain as well. Approval ratings for the grand coalition had been poor due to the internal disputes and austerity agenda of the government. Macron's group was not the only to break off, forcing the traditional parties to invest resources in recapturing safe seats. Macron's operative, comparatively, was quite smooth. With his "Young Feulliant" takeover of the party effectively complete, Macron was able to field a slate of candidates loyal to himself, quieting the party's intercine struggle in the months leading up to the election.
It was expected that Macron would falter with the actual issues of the campaign. While Macron had been know to be a closet absolutist in the Girondin, few of his peers thought his radical ideas could catch on if they were in the open. However, Macron was able to justify his ideals, effectively tying them into other campaign issues. For the hated 2015 budget, Macron's proposal of return the veto to the King would have paused the bill's passage and allowed for the numerous earmarks to be reviewed and removed from the bill. For ecological issues, Macron and his green conservative deputy, Kosciusko-Morizet, linked long-term dynastic interest to the preservation of the environment for future generations. For federal corruption, Macron proposed reviving the Royal Vetting Service to dispassionately weed out national agents that received their position due to political patronage.
While his left-wing opponents hammered Macron on his trade policies, stating that they would undermine French industries and jobs, the backing of Dupont-Aignan comforted most protectionists, who felt that Dupont-Aignan's parliamentary leadership would prevent Macron from excesses on the economic front. On social issues, while Macron had admitted in the past that he did not feel coldly towards LGBT people, he did carry the party torch and promised a referendum on same-sex marriage, which would potentially repeal the legalization bill passed by the grand coalition in 2014.
With his victory, Macron revealed the cracks in French society. He showed that there was a strata willing to vote for reaction over democracy, even at the expense of their economic interests. He showed the weakness of the French electoral system, which, due to its mixture of fixed winner-take-all and proportional seats, allowed Macron to will 50% of the seats with 33% of the vote. He showed that the gains of the French revolution, which had won France a constitution and led to end of royal power, were even now under threat.
Upon the opening of the new assembly, Macron quickly formed a cabinet of Young Feulliant representatives and allies. With only the Culture and Defense ministries in the hands of Dupont-Aignan's factions, the Old Feuillants reluctantly voted to form the government. With the government ceremonially inducted by King Louis XX, Macron has begun to roll out his plans and draft reams of legislation that would reverse many liberal reforms of the late 20th century.
Another notable stories of the election were the Mutuellists' victory in Brussels. Under Oliver Besancenot, the party did well in Flanders. While the allied with the Flanders National Party on the creation of a regional parliament for the Flemish departments, the undercut the FNP electorally, taking votes from both them and The Mountain. Following the elections, Oliver released a statement that his party and their allies would "resist any attempt to undermine the principles of our revolution and our labor struggles." If polling holds up, the Mutuellists and the independent left will do well at the departmental elections in 2019.

Quick note: You can make a box with two on top, two on the bottom by changing 3 to 4 and 4 to 5 in the wikibox.
Also, I might of been not clear (I can't explain things like this) so if I wasn't, just check out the source for the 1912 U.S. Election
Although the series looks great, nice job!
New Zealand and Fiji in this timeline are states right off the bat so it would probably stay at nine to avoid crowding

This is less of an actually wikibox and more of an "proof of concept" for me to start learning about making this stuff, the biggest problem is me getting it to look the way it did in the preview. any ideas?
There's a good app on Chrome Web Store to print entire pages. Later you cut that on Paint or a similar. Here's the link.

Airesien: The Golden Wave
The Golden Wave
1936 general election
The Conservatives’ large victory in the 1931 election saw an end to a quarter century of Liberal rule (with the exception of a Conservative minority government between 1923 and 1925), as well as the dynasty of Lloyd George. Seeing that his brand of liberalism had been comprehensively defeated at the ballot box, added to his worsening health, the 'Welsh Wizard’ brought an end to sixteen years at the helm of the Liberal Party. The party had a significant amount of soul searching to do as they were destined for their first extended spell on the opposition benches since the dawn of the century.
Stanley Baldwin had won a significant electoral victory in 1931 based on implementing harsh austerity to get the country's public finances in order. Britain had been hit just as hard by the Great Depression as any other developed nation but the Conservatives had promised to cut public spending and ensure that Britain would enter more prosperous times in a much better state than if the Liberals had been in charge. However, Baldwin's austerity politics had devastating effects. The Treasury gutted the welfare provisions that had grown significantly under Lloyd George throughout the 1920s, which plunged the majority of unemployed families into poverty, and caused massive discontent. Baldwin himself was unpopular, not just with the public but within his own party, and he was seen as arrogant and aloof, unpleasant and irresponsible. His decision to impose protectionist policies on trade outside the British Empire in 1932 was disastrous and saw the British economy severely damaged as the depression continued to take its toll.
By 1934, Baldwin's premiership, despite his significant majority, was in tatters. Frequently losing votes due to rebels within his own party, he was convinced by his cabinet allies to step down. His own Financial Secretary to the Treasury, George Tryon, who had advocated and imposed many of the government's spending cuts, would be elected as Baldwin's replacement. Fiercely nationalistic, imperial and strongly in favour of his predecessors protectionism, he refused to open up trade beyond the empire, but did ease some spending cuts to try and win back support for the government.
The Liberals chose Winston Churchill as Lloyd George's successor. The former Conservative MP had defected to the party in the pre-war period but had not served in any ministerial capacity since the Great War and his appointment as Leader of the Opposition was widely regarded with surprise and distrust by a significant portion of the Liberal backbenchers. Nonetheless, Churchill's passionate speeches in Parliament and fierce opposition to the Conservatives’ handling of the economy saw him win over many of his doubters by the time the next election was on the horizon and his relatively stable leadership was in stark contrast to the drama surrounding the government.
Concerned that high turnout would advantage the Conservatives’ opponents, Tryon called an election in January 1936, hoping bad weather would hamper turnout and hand the Tories the advantage. Turnout did drop but, despite a relatively small swing of just over 3 percent, the Liberals won back dozens of seats they had lost to the Conservatives in 1931. Churchill's promise to end austerity and bring a period of renewed prosperity to Britain caught people's ears and, with the support of advantageous boundaries, the Liberals were returned to government just five years after being ousted. Labour, who had lost much of the support that they had gained gradually since the war in 1931 with their vocal support for illegal strikes and active worker resistance, maintained roughly their portion of the vote from the last election but lost a handful of seats, thanks mainly to the Liberals making significant gains in urban constituencies.

Riley Uhr: 2014 Fiji state election
"In 1890 these 7 colonies and one of Her Majesty's newest imperial acquisitions, Fiji, began to consider the merits of forming a new Australasian nation"- Youtube Channel Soliloquy
The 2014 Fiji state election or the 42nd State Election was held on the 15th of May 2014 to elect members to the 42nd Fiji state parliament. The incumbent Labor government was elected in 2010 under Mahendra Chaudhry who as promised resigned soon after the election. But his resignation nevertheless was earlier than expected. The government had a slim majority of 1 which didn't help government stability through the leadership contest and the Ba By-election. A week before the Labor leadership election the Ba by-election was won by Labor by a slim margin of 52 to 48 in the TPP stakes. The Labor leadership contest was won by former short time leader Frank Bainimarama who lead the party for 4 months back in 2003. The results were met with mixed reactions. Frank Bainimarama was disliked by native Fijians for his actions previously adopting One Nation esqe type policies and weakening native independence in federal and state politics. Bainimarama has previously supported the idea of Fijian independence from the Australian Commonwealth which lost support from white Australians from the mainland in the polls. By the start of 2012, the LNP coalition lead Labor 55 to 45. A few days after New Years former premier Laisenia Qarase announced his intentions to step down as leader of the LNP and Announced a new leadership election would be on the 29th of March. After Raman Pratap Singh, Uncle to Tasmanian senator Lisa Singh, Resigned after failure to win a state parliament seat and moving on to federal politics former Professor at the University of the South Pacific and MP for Lomaiviti, Biman Prasad, became leader unopposed.
The Labor state government was vunrable with its slim majority and disliked premier and the year before the campaign started as Labor slowly dropped to 44% in the TPP polls. The new leader of the greens gave the party a boost in the primary polls. Kepa was well liked by indigenous peoples which helped propel her success in the polls. The government announced the election date in January of 2014 that the election would be held on the 15th of May that year. The main parties started to kick their campaigns into gear.
The early polls showed Labor making ground at about 47-48% in the polls. But the LNP quickly got their campaign revved up and kicked off which saw it rise to 55% in the polls once again. The Greens looked to be making good ground in the primary vote getting to 15% in some polls. Kepa and Prasad were taking the Native vote from Labor which saw the LNP rise once again to a large 58% in the TPP polls. The state Labor party under Frank appeared to be drifting right ever so slightly possibly in an attempt to gain votes. but this alienated more and more voters. As election day approached the LNP was cracking the 60% mark in the opinion polls and Labor was looking to a similar defeat to Anna Bligh in Queensland 2 years earlier.
The final results showed a near wipeout for the Labor party reduced to only 3 seats and with the LNP winning Bainimarama's Seat. The Greens picked up an extra seat. But the LNP won a huge majority of 10 and with a TPP vote of 60.6%. Frank Bainimarama refused to resign and is currently eyeing up 2018. The Greens have continued to climb in the primary vote looking for a successful 2018 and the LNP remains in a very strong position with popular Premier Teimumu Kepa.
