Division of Wentworth

The Division of Wentworth is a Craftian federal division in the Bankera Capital Territory. It was created in 2004 and was first contested at the federal election later that year. It is named Kelly Wentworth (1945–2003), one of the main architects of the city of Bankera. The division is anchored in the eastern suburbs of Bankera.

The sitting member, since the 2070 federal election, is Ty Deng, a member of the Liberal Party of Craftia.

History
For most of Wentworth's history, it has been considered a safe Liberal seat due to its position in the cosmopolitan and affluent inner eastern suburbs of Bankera. Over time, the Liberal Party's grip on the seat became more tenuous as it slowly shifted towards the east. The Liberals held the seat continuously from 2007 to 2055, when it was lost to the National United Party for the first time. In the 2055 election, the Liberal Party's vote collapsed nationwide. Gentrifying suburbs and changing demographics also whittled down the United vote and by the 2060s the Craftian Conservative Party was also a major competitor in Wentworth. The Liberal Party won it again in 2070 after 15 years.
