This cute kitty is interested to know which national parties from each Commonwealth member is in each Commonwealth Parliament party.
EDIT: Also, Sri Lanka is just one constituency? I'm assuming that the Commonwealth uses some form of PR.
I think Daniel Newhouse became Prime Minister after the country's most recent federal election and had Canada readmitted into the Commonwealth as one of his campaign promises.I cant seem to find it anywhere but when was Canada readmitted to the Commonwealth?
What’s the history of the Irish in New England ITTL? From what I’ve read, the potato famine still happens ITTL so still there’s a large Irish diaspora, although it looks like New England’s Irish population ITTL is smaller (unless the canon has changed, my guess is that less Irish end up going to New England since it’s more closely linked to Britain ITTL).

The Imperials at least in Britain are at least broadly more Social Democratic ITTL than OTL Conservatives, IIRC, aren't they?
Then again, being run by a Rhodesian, given our understanding of Rhodesian domestic issues ITTL leaves me less than optimistic about their policies compared to the Progressives.
Cautiously hopeful for the Commonwealth's efforts against Climate Change.
This may be your best work yet, Kanan. Interesting to see someone from a rather small (population wise not economically) city state like Singapore have so many seats in the Commonwealth Parliament.
@Kanan , once again an excellent, world-class infobox and election maps!
It seems that climate change also played a big role in the 2019 Commonwealth Election, and from here, I have some questions:
- Does a worldwide (young) movement like Fridays for Future exist ITTL? Is there a Greta Thunberg-like figure?
- Has TTL done significantly more to combat climate change than OTL? Or is it about equal, or significantly less?
- Are there as many climate change denialists ITTL? Is climate change denial a non-fringe political position in any OFC nation? Are far-right parties running on such agendas? Or is "climate change denial" a very much fringe movement like OTL German Reichsbürger etc.?
- How are renewable energies (wind, solar power, hydropower,...) doing ITTL? Is there as much opposition to wind power as in OTL?
I've been a lurker here for a while, but as a fan of Victoria II I now feel obligated to comment and say this has been my favorite project to follow on the site since the day I wandered into maps and graphics and found it.

I thought about this too and concluded New York would have a far higher diaspora of Irish people.
Might be wrong though.
Wrong, the PCs fell well short of a majority and fell apart. The central and eastern wings of the party formed the Progressive Nationals and formed a coalition with the Liberals, and part of the coalition deal was the re-entry of Canada into the Commonwealth.
What was Perot’s career like ITTL?
Just going back over the UK House of Commons, and with the Liberals and Labour being by far the largest parties, and I can't help but ask which voting bloc aligns with the Imperials and which with the Progressives in the Commonwealth Election? Given that Britain is largely split between them in the Commonwealth Election, I'm of course assuming that this reflects the split between parties at the national level.
On account of the varying colours used to reflect either group, I can't tell whether or not it's Labour or the Liberals who broadly adhere to the Progressive vote.
If so, it's making the Imperials look far less like OTL Tories than I had initially imagined, at least in terms of their presence in Great Britain.
Edit: So, going back over the election, Labour were in the Progressives. Does this mean the Liberals are affiliated with the Imperials?
Nice! I really like making Michael Moore a popular (and apparently pretty charismatic?) populist and trade unionist! It’s definitely a fun way to use the guy in the TL!

One thing I noticed though, and I hate to be this guy, you called Michael Moore a National in the second paragraph of the second infobox page. Otherwise everything looks great IMO!
Neat! I know he’s a candidate in the Social Labor Party primaries. Actually, that makes me wonder if the Social Labor Party has had a debate yet, and if so, how did it go? Did some candidates experience significant polling change?You saw nothing! !!
And yeah! He is pretty charismatic and very popular. You'll see more of him soon.
Well, I'd certainly be interested in hearing about important historical events as you did for the 2002 flight blackout, a look perhaps at some of the other Crown Colonies as you did for Suez, or some closer looks at European states like Portugal, Italy or the Netherlands. Anything on political developments in the Commonwealth is always interesting.Feel free to comment below about what you want to see and if I like it, I'll do them!!
