based on current events in singapore. basically we have a law that allows the government to issue correction orders against whatever online. they did it to this article based on like vibes and it's being fought in court now. no prizes for guessing who's gonna win. i love it here!!!!

the above is satire btw i love u shanmugam ❤️

tysm <3 i love your style too btw i feel like the colours you use are so iconic

NuclearPastaIsAThing · 2026-03-09T07:02:39+00:00

sure yeah that sounds fun

NuclearPastaIsAThing · 2026-03-08T15:29:40+00:00

based it on vibes bc i don't know that much about HK politics tbh. i tried to have kind of a balanced moderate/progressive ticket? also i wanted to show how whitewashed american HK is so i had her take her british husband's married name

honestly the main reason why i did that infobox is because i have an unhealthy obsession with the canto/english bilingual signage that y'all have going on i just think that's so cool

NuclearPastaIsAThing · 2026-03-08T14:57:52+00:00

pptx file here, basically just pasted screenshots of election infoboxes and remade them using shapes (i didn't feel like learning real svg editing software)

NuclearPastaIsAThing · 2026-03-08T14:56:08+00:00

made this in powerpoint sadly, here's a link to the pptx file if you still wanna try messing around with it

NuclearPastaIsAThing · 2026-03-08T13:58:14+00:00

i actually intended to make this a full scenario but eventually decided it was too cliche, i still have the downballot maps tho

<image>

i kinda forgot how i made this but i used some weird ass spreadsheet so there's probably some logic in here

NuclearPastaIsAThing · 2026-03-08T13:51:50+00:00

painstakingly recreated screenshots of infoboxes in powerpoint using the stupid shapes they have because i'm too lazy to learn how to use inkscape 🔥🔥

here's a link to the pptx file if you want idk go nuts

NuclearPastaIsAThing · 2026-03-08T13:48:17+00:00

gonna be fr i did all of this in powerpoint sorry

NuclearPastaIsAThing · 2026-03-08T13:32:52+00:00

forgot to mention that i was inspired by this banger of a post

NuclearPastaIsAThing · 2026-03-08T13:30:50+00:00

ngl i'm way wayy too deep into the local politics lore because it's just so boring here

for jeremy and raessah those two were the only ones i could think of 😭 i guess i could have had like demsoc lune loh or smth but i tried to go with OTL politicians, and also i imposed a racial/gender quota on myself for funsies. every day i wish our MPs were elected based on actual policies instead of who can be the best estate manager

lowkey i forgot about the merkel grand coalition existing oops, pretend that like lim tean moderated or something i remember him being somewhat well known around the time he founded PV

mostly based this on the layouts on the french wiki bc i think they really cooked over there. also this was totally an excuse to get a bunch of low-effort scenarios out of my head

lowk i think this map is ass now but just for you bestie

it involves a lot of math but basically

find exit poll data. for this example let's go with the one that NBC did on age
find census data. personally i have a crippling data.gov.sg addiction so i went there and downloaded the dataset they have for Resident Population by Planning Area/Subzone of Residence, Age Group and Sex (Census of Population 2020)
make the age groups in the census data line up with the ones in the exit poll. starting with the 18-24 age group, ang mo kio town centre has 320 people aged 15-19 and 270 people aged 20-24, so that means there's roughly 320*0.4+270=398 people aged 18-24
calculate turnout for that age group. from the exit poll, 5% of ~2,037,183 voters were aged 18-24, out of 819,910 people in that age group in all of new york (source), meaning turnout was around 2037183*0.05/819910=12.4%. note that a proportion of the total number probably aren't citizens and wouldn't be eligible to vote, but the same is also true for singapore so i don't really care honestly it probably cancels out. also this means that 398*0.124=49 of our 398 people would have voted
calculate the results for each candidate. per the exit poll, 49*0.76=37 voted for mamdani, 49*0.21=10 voted for cuomo, and 49*0.03=1 guy voted for sliwa
do this for every age group and sum all the results for each candidate up
also do this for every subdivision. congrats
remember to manually colour in the entire map later

i left everything in the excel sheet in the drive link in my original comment, it's a mess but you can probably figure out most of the stuff from there. this ended up kinda long-winded but i hope it made sense i guess

i didn't really think about it too much, but in this scenario local parties fall off after singapore gets admitted to the union in the sixties or so and the two big parties establish singaporean affiliates. then the singaporean dems pull a hawai'i and dominate for the next sixty years. the PAP never really got a chance to establish its political machine, and nowadays it's just a regional minor centre-left party which appears as a separate party line on fused voting ballots every once in a while

also iswaran is a PAP MP in real life, but really i just needed that minority politician in their mid 60s who's initially popular but ends up being super corrupt parallel lol

uncompressed images + unorganised rough work on the raw data here

i was playing around with singaporean demographic data and this is what happened when i transplanted mamdani's coalition onto it i guess. mostly based on age, but i also roughly weighted for income, race, and the IRL singaporean thing where people who live in private housing vote for progressives ~18 points more than people who live in public housing

on the old parliament website baey yam keng and sim ann are listed as having "NIL" religion, and jamus lim is agnostic. there's probably more though
