Magdeburg (electoral district)

Magdeburg is one of the 299 single member constituencies used for the German parliament, the Bundestag. One of nine districts covering the state of Saxony-Anhalt, it covers the whole of the Magdeburg district and the municipalities of Barby, Schönebeck, Calbe, Bördeland, all located in the Salzlandkreis district.

In its current form, the constituency was created for the 2009 election, replacing the former Magdeburg – Schönebeck – Wanzleben – Staßfurt constituency. The first two elections in the constituency were won by the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), who had held the predecessor constituency since the 1994 election. At the 2009 election the constituency was gained by The Left party. The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) gained the seat at the 2013 election. The current representative is Tino Sorge of the CDU.

History and boundaries

The constituency was created for the 1990 election, the first following German reunification. It was then called Magdeburg – Schönebeck – Wanzleben – Staßfurt and included the municipality of Magdeburg, excluding the city's south-western districts of Buckau, Fermersleben, Salbke, Westerhüsen, Leipziger Straße, Hopfengarten and Reform. The 1990 election was won by the CDU, but the constituency was gained by the SPD at the 1994 election and held by them until the 2009 election. For the 2002 election the constituency was enlarged and renamed Magdeburg and was coterminous with the city of Magdeburg. It assumed its current boundaries for the 2009 election.

List of recurring The Simpsons characters

The Simpsons includes a large array of supporting characters: co-workers, teachers, family friends, extended relatives, townspeople, local celebrities, fictional characters within the show, and even animals. The writers originally intended many of these characters as one-time jokes or for fulfilling needed functions in the town. A number of them have gained expanded roles and have subsequently starred in their own episodes. According to the creator of The Simpsons, Matt Groening, the show adopted the concept of a large supporting cast from the Canadian sketch comedy show Second City Television.

Agnes Skinner

Agnes Skinner (voiced by Tress MacNeille) is the mother of Principal Skinner and first appeared in the first season episode "The Crepes of Wrath" as an old woman who embarrassingly calls her son "Spanky". However, as episodes progressed, the character turned bitter. She is very controlling of her son and often treats him as if he is a child. She hates Edna Krabappel due to her son's feelings for the other woman. Agnes has married four times. Several Springfield residents (including the Simpsons) are afraid of her. When "the real Seymour Skinner" arrives in Springfield, Agnes ends up rejecting him in part because he stands up to her, but also because unlike Skinner/Tamzarian, her biological son is independent and doesn't need her anymore, while Skinner immediately reverts to a good-for-nothing without her.
