Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Attack on Titan using Weimar-era parties considering its basically an allegory of the Ostfront in World War 2:

Eren-NSDAP
Mikasa-NSDAP
Armin-SDP for tactical reasons, probably would prefer DDP
Reiner-SDP
Jean-SDP
Sasha-KPD
Krista-DDP
Connie-NSDAP
Marco-Centre
Annie-NSDAP
Ymir-KPD
Hannes-Centre
Dr. Yeager-DVP
Commander Erwin-DVP
Captain Levi-NSDAP, might actully resemble Hans Rothfels
Commander Pixis-DNVP

1. Mikasa is a racial minority. (Granted, not one with which the actual Nazis had problems, obviously, but in the context of the story...) I would picture her and Eren as more staid, Hindenburg-style military conservatives, likelier than not to be independent voters biddable by a variety of rightist or nationalist factions, who would be in significant danger of being co-opted either soon before or soon after 1933. DVFP for example I can sort of see.
2. Connie strikes me as a Zentrum type, honestly.
3. If it's an Ostfront allegory I think it's more likely that every character would be CPSU, Germanic names notwithstanding. But that's boring.
4. KPD Sasha and Ymir YES.
5. Of course Christa would be bourgeois left-liberal.

I might do this with current Japanese political parties later.

Nobody in Shirley Jackson's classic novel We Have Always Lived in the Castle has voted in at least a decade, except Charles, who's a recent Turning Point USA alum. Merricat would unironically support either Gabbard or Williamson if she knew who they were, and Uncle Julian thinks Reagan (whom he supports) is still President.

I mean. The entire sociology of the Powell Estates, right down to its geographic location (South London) screams "Labour stronghold". I don't think anything about Jackie's personality or background suggests she'd be an exception, especially not in the Blair era where Labour was winning landslides nationally.

In honor of Tammy Murphy dropping out because preserving muh Line is more important to her than her own candidacy (lol. lmao, even), here's how I think the main characters of Yellowjackets would vote in the Murphy-Kim primary had it actually happened (fudging the timeline a bit because the show's internal chronology is still in the last weeks of 2021).

Taissa: The fact that she is herself an elected officeholder from Monmouth County suggests Murphy; the fact that she's implied to have run as an "outsider" progressive suggests Kim. Gun to my head, she tepidly supports Murphy at first but switches to Kim once Murphy starts struggling in the county endorsement processes.
Shauna: Nothing about the adult version of Shauna suggests that she would be anything other than a conventional-wisdom Moderate D hack and a locked-in Murphy voter who might even take the canned feminist aspect of her campaign seriously.
Natalie: Kim, because she's an iconoclast and (especially for the type of character she is otherwise) not especially liable to support women for the sake of supporting women.
Misty: Canonically does not vote except for Taissa.
Lottie: Canonically no longer lives in New Jersey.
Van: Canonically no longer lives in New Jersey.
Jackie: Canonically no longer lives.
