He lives in Nimbin in New South Wales. The best way to describe that town is that if the cops searched your car there and didn't find marijuana, they would instantly arrest you on suspicion that anyone there without drugs must be up to something else illegal.

Anglaland 650 AD
Oswiu - is still talking about that time he had the balls to raid Mercia to retrieve his brothers limbs and head. Sure mate, they were still recognisable after a year in a tree we all believe you.
Aidan of Lindisfarne - Still not dead, keeps talking about the Northumbrian people's front.
Oswine - Silent upon a peak in Deria, clearly up to something.
Penda of Mercia- Absolute lunatic but you didnt hear that from me.
Dyfed - is back and bigger than ever, we all love a royal wedding. I'm sure this marks a decisive comeback for the Britons.

VOLG'S OUT: 2011 elections during 2000AD's Invasion
We have thirty-one known parties and former resistance groups running right now, nobody has time for that so we'll stick with the significant ones:
True Democracy Party: A name that makes you think someone's up to something. They are. Rusty O'Dell is a violent (i.e. to non-Volgans) conspiracy theorist who talks up "Skull-and-Bones helped the Volgan Party to power for arms-race money". However, she's the most prominent and organised left-wing resistance figure and the Tolpuddle Martyrs were at London in Lib Day. Likely to win on the back of rants against American occupation and "drones in the sky" even though she's still committed to allowing US bases for realpolitik her partisans won't allow anyone else. 'Heir to Livinstone'. Yay.
Labour Party: Many a great Labour figure was killed or interned during the occupation, but those that made it to Ireland are back now with... Chris Williamson. Oh no. The name "Labour" still has some weight but god, it's clear these guys have been out of the UK (what are we calling that now Charlie has abdicated anyway??) for twelve years. Still seem to be terrified the Great Satan Neil Kinnock is going to come back. Mostly talking the same as TrueD but badly.
Scotland Now Party: They are not, I repeat, not just the political wing of the Laddies. They just have some Laddies in them but we're all peaceful now. We want Scotland independent by peaceful means and have totally not monstered other nationalists into submission from Aberdeen to Edinburgh. "Big Ger" Cafferty and his crew have no real chance of government and that's probably his hope, conflict is better for business. If that does mean conflict with Glasglow's Scottish Independence Party, oh crap.
Union of Britain Party: All the "prominent" Tory and DUP people who made it to Canada when the bombs fell. Like Labour, they now talk like tourists trying to seem 'hip' to our lingo. The advantage they've got is they were part of the government-in-exile in all the early broadcasts made by King Charlie to here. The other advantage is definitely not American cash, I bet. Rachel Johnson has a TV newsreader's practiced calm, which makes her seem sane when she talks about taking us back to 1992.
British People's Party: They want to take us back to 1933, and not our 1933. Yaxley-Lennon isn't the only resistance soldier turned party leader and not the only younger leader, but he got set up first and put his appeal directly at angry young lads. And there's a lot of them about when six months of independence still has us on rations and American drones. I'd worry if he buddied up with the UBP except they really do reject "some useless toffs", and the only thing worse than them unified is if it's the BPP that's the main right-wing oppo in government. Hellllp.
Ummar Party: Neither from the rebels nor the exiles, this is one of the groups formed out of religious groups that passively resisted. While the Christian ones, the British Saints and the Anglican Underground, have been bleeding to other groups, the Ummar's mosque-based and got more community connections (and unlike their Jewish and Hindu versions, are big). Getting very chummy with the UBP now, we may be seeing a conservative block with them - coincidentally after that "anonymous tip" and "evidence" that got "Yer Man" Rahman banged up so he won't be running for MP.
Mersey Party: Two months ago this still looked like it'd go red but the Mersey Party are coming up fast. A lot of people in Liverpool are more into free-trade than they used to be because for eleven years of Volgan rule, their ports were the key line of trade with neutral shipping. They got used to (relative) money and they'd like to keep this second age of trade wealth going, and the Mersey Party promises to fight their corner. With the election such a mess, a dedicated party with eight seats (that's what they're looking at) could have a good hand with the incoming coalition government. But I am not looking froward to saying "the MP MPs".
Irish Reunification Party: I included them just because North Americans won't stop asking. Catherine Seeley leads what's left of the republicans after the Volgans shot most of them, the rest fled to the Republic and were absorbed, and the youth of NI grew up caring more Volgs Out. No chance.

@Charles EP M. that is actually really good. Love it
The best part for me was managing to find the most obscure, one-year-only Sinn Fein MLA for a party leader
That was the second best.

Teach Us Something Please
Gryffindor: so I guess Granger's going to be gone like, three years from now, assuming her government doesn't do that weird shit with the Time-Turners again? not really sure why everyone is going all "end of an era" unless "era" is now a synonym for "sort of terrible" - cauldron bottoms are through the roof, the "insert gay people into history" initiative is literal nonsense, and last I checked the MoM was not supposed to be wearing the horcrux of, er, germaine greer
but at least cArPeT rEgUlAtIoNs ArE gOnE
Ravenclaw: surely flitwick will keep us in the ICW, I continue to insist as he literally sits in his office practicing his “looking down and whispering no” routine. also terry boot said the new budget was arithmancy which, lol, terry boot you worthless spineless fucking scum
Slytherin: draco has apparently named his new child “malleus maleficarum” because he is le funny death eater. have also been told on very good authority that it is illegal to use delphi diggory’s legal name
Hufflepuff: still banned for Fudge’s appalling crimes

I WONDER WOTS THIS ABOUT HMMM
im already being smuggled across the border as i write this brb
Democratic: Sure, Michael Flynn wants to literally put all Hispanic people, citizens or not, in concentration camps and said "he would consider" just straight up bombing Chicago's South Side, but President Gillibrand was actually a secret Pan-Americanist commie who wanted to turn your kids into trans people so yeah I guess the oncoming state-ordered mass murders were worth it then tbh
Populist: Betomania actually doesn't hold up when Beto himself is doing everything in his power to distance himself from his own party. God, I'm not sure who I'm more angry at - the Democrats who are probably going to put me on a kill list, or the Populists who were fucking dumb enough to put us in this situation.
People's: Bernie's passive aggressive "congratulations" to now-President Flynn is still too friendly for my tastes, tbh. His biggest worry is about the "democratic institutions" of America being violated, and not the fact that LGBT people are going to be made illegal in about a month.
Republican: John Kasich is still around I guess, flapping his lips about how we need to "respect the Democrats mandate." Remember when John Kasich was going to get elected President and usher in eternal Republican rule and the death of the Populists? Yeah, me neither.
New Democracy: Mark Cuban also ran. His campaign wasn't all that interesting considering that he just tried to emulate all the other vanity sort-of centrist/liberal vehicles, but I'm kind of sad that he got lost in all the chaos.
America First: Maybe if the white supremacist market wasn't cornered this year Senator Cotton would have had a shot, but hey, there's always next ti- [MY DOOR IS BLOWN OFF BY US SPECIAL FORCES]
Progressives: how the fuck is Hank Paulson still alive
Yes We Can: Barack Obama tried hard, I guess. The press tried to push him over the finish line by beating the "I'm handsome and progressive and I'm also not a sociopath" dead horse, but he never could get the taint of being a former Populist off him. Trying to convince everybody that already believe you're a secret Kenyan/Jamaican/Mexican socialist that you're not isn't a winning strategy, methinks.
Liberty: Lincoln Chafee really wanted us to believe he's human, and to be fair we should have

Barack Obama is Marina Silva, quite cleverly.
Beto is supposed to be Haddad, and Kasich was my best attempt at Alckmin, which I’m not entirely happy with tbh.

Arkham, Massachusetts, 1925
Major Parties
Republican: A scandal has overtaken the Mayor's Office. The Arkham Advertiser recently revealed that the Mayor was no born in Boston, as he claimed, but is in fact from Innsmouth. The Mayor has issued a statement declaring that although he was born in Innsmouth he is a good Christian and does not practice the "strange, Satanic religion" that most of Innsmouth follows.
Democratic: Thanks to the efforts of several Democratic city councilors Arkham has banned a local art gallery from showing Richard Pickman's paintings on grounds of obscenity. Mr. Pickman is suing the city, claiming that they are violating his First Amendment rights.
Minor Parties
Socialist: Currently attempting to push through a bill that will allocate money to renovate the local insane asylum, which is falling into disrepair and full of rats (the sound of which greatly disturbs some inmates).
Prohibition: A group of party members campaigning in Dunwich have disappeared. The Whateley family has announced that they are not responsible for this, even though the police have not yet named any suspects.
Progressive: Herbert West promised to bring more voters to the party. He fulfilled that promise, but his methods were absolutely horrific.
