A larger district geographically this time, and one of the few seats I've seen so far to appear to break the 'large rural seats still return Pro-Beijing candidates' pattern.

Also, this honestly feels like it could be Chicago or Dallas.

like some sort of earlier civil war, with the know nothings getting involved, and anglo-french intervention leads to the civil war ending up with some partial balkanisation - the south goes, obvs. but so does new york under a know nothing / democratic government and chicago gets annexed to britain, while france takes back new orleans. new england goes its own way after the war.

if we wanted to widen out the parallel, america endures the rest of the century under an ossifying 'national unity' presidency which is eventually overthrown somewhere near the century's end, and while an attempt to restore proper constitutional government stumbles, another revolutionary movement successfully seizes power in the 1940s, and manages to crush some of the old secessionists under foot.

The thought I had was 'Southern-style Democrat domination and vote-rigging nationwide, the 'Pro-Republic' coalition is attempting to break through the vested interests.'

Moving into Yau Tsim Mong in Kowloon now- we're right by Hong Kong Polytechnic. Also some pretty significant boundary changes.

Sham Shui Po is rather unusual for what we've seen so far- the opposition were only 1 seat behind taking control in 2015, it's a bit of a stronghold for the ADPL, and I've had to drop in a new scale as this is where one of the two Unaligned candidates won this year.

Fun fact: the constituency of Mong Kok North was won by pro-democracy independent Lucifer Siu, who milked pro-protest imagery and messaging for all it was worth.

And here's Kowloon City, an area that has seriously gentrified since they knocked down the Walled City (the site's at the top end of Lung Shing, the DAB seat in the north), and as such was something of a government stronghold. The sheer scale of the landslide can probably be best expressed by the fact that even here the Pro-Democrat side won 60% of the seats.
