**Jonathan Déaglán MacAlasdair** (January 18, 1890 - September 25, 1993), commonly known as **Jonathan D. MacAlasdair**, was a Chawosaurian member of parliament, a member of the MacAlasdair family. MacAlasdair is best well known in Chawosauria as the Chawosaurian parliamentary leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, MacAlasdair was the paternal grandfather of Jeanette Andrea MacAlasdair.

Jonathan D. MacAlasdair was born in the United Kingdom, in Scotland, on January 18, 1890. Born to an American Immigrant to Scotland, Elizabeth Mary MacCarthy, and married a distant cousin Jacklyn MacCarthy, and had four children together. Elected in a special election, MacAlasdair became a member of the Palace, reelected in the 1909 elections, MacAlasdair was elected to the Chawopolis Palace in dissatisfaction to Garfield Lucas Webster as a Progressive. MacAlasdair was a critic of Progressivism, an Economic Liberal who supported tax cuts, deregulation, and *Laissez-faire* Capitalism. MacAlasdair attacked Webster as a "Socialist Fascist", throughout Webster's premiership, MacAlasdair accused Webster of Dictatorship and being unfaithful to Christianization.

In the 1905 legislative elections, before 1909, he and Selahattin Abdullah Mustafa Bedrosian both defeated Chawosaurian Prime Minister Malcolm Lyons MacKenzie Wilson's tory supermajority with 313 seats, Bedrosian gained 147 seats, but MacAlasdair, although trailing Bedrosian, gained 166 seats, a significant gain for a single-defected Palacian. In the 1909 Chawosaurian legislative elections, he lost 30 seats and faced a nasty revolt from Jack Leo MacKenzie, but MacAlasdair survived. MacAlasdair opposed Prime Minister Webster, supported World War I, and opposed the Revolutions of 1917-1923, all making him a deeply unpopular parliamentary leader, and in the 1925 Chawosaurian legislative elections, he lost reelection and his entire Liberal caucus was wiped out by Prime Minister Theodore McClellan.

MacAlasdair retired in 1926 and continued to oppose Websterianism, he was a staunch supporter of Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, and following the 1945 Chawosaurian legislative elections, MacAlasdair was a potential candidate to become Prime Minister of the Empire of Chawosauria to replace Prime Minister Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII, and polls showed that MacAlasdair's popularity has recovered somewhat and that he could be a competitive anti-communist parliamentary leader in the 1949 Chawosaurian legislative elections, but he ultimately never ran against Bismarck. MacAlasdair supported the west over the Soviet Union throughout the Cold War, and following the end of the Cold War and during the 1993 Canadian federal election, MacAlasdair died on September 25, 1993, but the 18th Chawopolis Palace refused to bury him in the Chawopolis Palace due to his Cold War stance. MacAlasdair was instead buried in a private civilian cemetery somewhere in Canada.

Since his death, MacAlasdair is a polarizing figure from Chawosaurian history, though he does rank fairly high in good looks of all Chawosaurian political leaders throughout Chawosaurian history.

## Early Life

Jonathan Déaglán MacAlasdair was born on January 18, 1890, in Glasgow, to Lochlainn and Elizabeth, and he was an only child. MacAlasdair was born in the same year as Jonathan Dragan Bismarck XVII. Jonathan MacAlasdair was baptized and raised into the Presbyterian faith, and he was of coarse Scottish.

As a child, MacAlasdair moved to Canada alongside his parents, at the time, Canada was somewhat under British influence, the MacAlasdairs settled in Wolfville. Jonathan MacAlasdair was described to having red hair and freckles, which made him vulnerable to bullying, but while he was bullied for his appearance, Jonathan MacAlasdair became a feared fighter after successfully defending himself in a fight, even MacAlasdair himself was surprised by his own fighting skills, but his father had none of it, Lochlainn punished Jonathan by forcing him to get up at 5 AM and work the family farm from dawn to midnight for a whole year.

## Death and Funeral

At his home in Vancouver in British Columbia, MacAlasdair died at age 103, and his family had to bury him at a private civilian cemetery because the Chawosaurian government refused to bury him honorably.
