Division of McDonald

The Division of McDonald is a Craftian federal division in the state of Meyang. It was created in 2031 and was first contested at the federal election later that year. It is named after Peter McDonald (1946–1999), the 4th Prime Minister of Craftia, serving from 1995 to 1998. The seat is located in northern Meyang, covering the city of Remington and the Lee Peninsula (the easternmost point on the Craftian mainland), as well as the island of Pulau Api.

The sitting member, since the 2070 federal election, is Na Fuchen, the leader of the Craftian Conservative Party.

History
McDonald is regarded as a traditional Conservative seat, due to its location in the generally more right-wing northern Meyang. This holds true even for urban centres like Remington, the third-most populous city in the state. However, over time, Remington has become more marginal while the rural parts of the Lee Peninsula remain relatively conservative. Pulau Api has consistently voted strongly for the National United Party since the seat's creation. The Conservatives have gradually had their safe margins in McDonald eroded over time, with United having the seat multiple times by the 2050s.
