Electoral district of Cook

Cook is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Plymouth Prefecture, first contested at the 1966 federal election. It covers the waterfront western suburbs of St Claire, and is named after British navigator James Cook, who died in 1779 en route to Enderron.

The sitting member, since the 2018 election, is John Rudd, a member of the Social Democratic Party.

History
Cook was created in the 1966 expansion of parliament. In its original form, it stretched much further south than it does today, covering most of the territory of what is now Dawson. Successive redistributions have reduced it to St Claire's beachside western suburbs, covering an area approximately one fifth of its original size.

The seat is a well-known marginal seat, and only one member (Colin McDonough) has served more than two parliamentary terms as the seat's MP without losing preselection or being defeated at the polls. It has been won by the party of government for all but three terms since its creation, only electing an opposition member in 1974, 1978 and 2014.
