Electoral district of Mount Gilbert

Mount Gilbert (abbreviated to Mt Gilbert) is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Miranda Prefecture. It was created in 1946 and first contested at the federal election later that year. It is named after the town of Mount Gilbert, which is in turn named after the mountain of the same name. The district covers the rural northwestern corner of Miranda.

The sitting member, since the 2010 federal election, is Kylie Moore, a member of the National Party.

History
At the time of its creation, Mount Gilbert covered the entire western third of Miranda and became known as a marginal seat, with the working class towns of Mount Gilbert and Mount Wilkinson tending towards the Social Democrats while the rural agricultural lands and remote communities tilted towards the conservative United Party. The seat changed hands regularly over the years as redistributions favoured different parties. It was one of the first seats won by the Enderron National Party in its first electoral contest in 1978, and from then on it became a three-way marginal seat. Since 1973, no two consecutive members have come from the same party.

In 1990, a redistribution moved Mount Wilkinson into the new seat of Dalton, significantly diminishing the Social Democrats' vote and turning Mount Gilbert into a marginal Liberal-National seat.

Two leaders of the National Party (George Sanders and Eric Wojtczak) have held the seat while serving as leader.
