A Shoreham and Dagerleigh by-election was held on 11 July 1982. The by-election was caused by the death of David Johnson on 7 May 1982, who had been elected on behalf of the Sotirian Democratic Union as the Member of Parliament for Shoreham and Dagerleigh less than a year prior.
The seat was traditionally an SDU-Radical Liberal (and later Reform Party) marginal, but the approval of a new nuclear power plant near the seat (approved by the previous SDU government and upheld by the new Reform government) majorly shifted the balance of power in the seat. The local anti-nuclear movement became a major factor, and the power plant itself became a major issue in the campaign. The Greens were able to flex their anti-nuclear credentials and act as a protest vote for both liberal and conservative voters in the seat.
The by-election was notable in that it saw the Greens win their first parliamentary constituency, catapulting them from extra-parliamentary opposition. The result was an embarassment for the SDU, and to a lesser extent to the governing Reform Party. The power plant's construction was paused indefinitely, and the seat was ultimately gained by the Reform Party in the next election, with the Greens in fourth place.

Kingsport (Kabuese: Pulau Hujung) is an Estmerish Overseas Territory located in the mid-western Vehemens Ocean. Geographically, the island is closest to the North Kabuese island of Lembeh, and is considered part of the wider Kabuese archipelago. The territory contains the island of Kingsport proper, as well as a number of smaller islands and atolls. The territory spans an area of 1,129 km2, and is home to a population of 54,581. Kingston functions as the capital city.
Prior to settlement, a number of Sublustrian peoples had arrived onto the islands intermittently, but there was no attempt to permanently settle. The island was first properly settled in the 1100s, by Kabuese Badi migrants attempting to escape persecution for their belief in obscure elemental cults. Independent local leaders were subsumed into the growing Aguda Empire in 1558, and the island became the furthest outpost of the empire.
Admiral Henry King came across the island in 1710, and organised the leasing of the island from the Agudans in 1713. The Estmerish constructed a major port on the island, which quickly became an important stopping point for ships travelling to between Coius and the Asterias. The island was purchased outright in 1778, preceding the Estmerish consolidation of wider Kabu into the Colony of the Carolinian Islands. As a major port of call, the island was subjected to a small degree of Estmerish settler colonialism, largely centred in the port city of Kingston. The colony was briefly occupied by Gaullica in the Great War.
After the war, rising Kabuese nationalism saw the independence of the wider Carolinian Islands colony. Nationalists pressed for Kingsport to be included in wider Kabu, but pressure from the local Estmerish-speaking population and belief in the importance of the port's location resulted in the island remaining Estmerish. Power was gradually transfered to the islands through devolution beginning in 1986, with eventual statehood seen as an ultimate goal for the islands. The importance of the port has waned over time, but a large Estmerish Navy presence persists on the island through its naval base.
Modern day Kingsport is largely self-governing, with a devolved representative democratic parliamentary dependency under the federal constitutional republic of Estmere. President Alice Roberts is the official head of state of the island, but is represented on the island by High Commissioner Joseph Bambang. Devolved power is placed in the Kingsport Assembly, the members of which comprise the Kingsport government by virtue of their ability to command a majority. Executive power lays primarily in Chief Executive Adi Harjo from the Kingsport Socialist Co-operative Party.
Etymology and name
The island is, in Estmerish, named for Henry King, an 18th century Estmerish admiral who organised the lease and later purchase of the island from the Aguda Empire. The colony established was named King's Port in his honour, which over time was reduced to the current name. The native Kabuese name for the island is Pulau Hujung, which roughly translates to "island at the end" in reference to the island's position at the periphery of the Kabuese archipelago.
The status of the name for the island has been a point of dispute and controversy, both internationally and within the island's local politics. South and North Kabu both refer to the island by the name Pulau Hujung in official correspondence. Locally, Kabuese nationalists refuse to use the Estmerish name for the island, and historically Estmerish unionists had refused to use the native name; although this has changed in recent years. The Estmerish federal government recognises the names Kingsport and Pulau Hujung as equally valid names for the territory, and the local government uses both in most official manners.
History
Geography
Governance
.jpg)
Kingsport is a self-governing dependency, with power devolved to the territory from the Estmerish federal government. Kingsport is therefore a representative democracy with a parliamentary system, operating under a federal constitutional republic.
The President of Estmere is the official head of state, but is represented in the territory by the High Commissioner, who carries out most of the legal and ceremonial functions of the presidency. Joseph Bambang, a prominent Kingsportian businessman, has been High Commissioner since 2012.
Real devolved power lays with the elected Kingsport Assembly, formerly known as the Kingsport Territorial Council. The 55 elected members of the Assembly have the sole ability to draft, suggest and pass local legislation, and the head of government is a member of the Assembly; the Chief Executive, who heads the executive branch. The Chief Executive is appointed by the High Commissioner on the basis of being able to command a majority in the Assembly. Adi Harjo has been Chief Executive since 2018, and leads a government comprising the Kingsport Socialist Co-operative Party, the Kingsport Alliance for Change and The Kingsport Alternative.

Religion
Badi has been the dominant religion in Kingsport since its introduction by the Kabuese in the 1100s. The style of Badi practiced was predominantly heterodox until the arrival of the Aguda Empire in 1558, wherein the form of Badi became far more orthodox. Sotirianity was primarily introduced to the islands under Estmerish rule, with the state-sponsored Embrian Communion making its presence known on the island through conversion efforts.
According to the 2015 census, 60.4% of the population identify as Badist, and 25.3% identify as Sotirian. While the Embrian Communion is the largest Sotirian denominiation, there is also a notable Solarian Catholic, Church of the Orient and non-Embrian Amendist presence.
Outside of Sotirianity and Badi, 1.9% of the population are Irfanic, and 1.7% are Tulyatan. These people tend to be immigrants from Estmere proper or from other former Estmerish colonies. Just under 1 in 10 of the population consider themselves to be Irreligious.
Important religious buildings on the island include the Cathedral of Saint Thomas and the Temple of Holy Metal.
