Electoral district of Nord

Nord is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Westhaven Prefecture, first contested at the 1990 federal election. It covers the regional city of Warburton, which sits on the border between Westhaven and New Surrey, as well as the surrounding area. The district is named for Alexander Nord, the second Premier of Enderron (1819–1821).

The sitting member, since the 2006 federal election, is David Henneman, a member of the Social Democratic Party and the current Speaker of the Enderronian Parliament.

History
Nord was proclaimed at the 1990 redistribution, in which Westhaven's representation in parliament increased from 10 to 11 seats. The city of Warburton, which previously was part of the electorate of Middle Range, had grown in population to the point that it required an electorate of its own. Nord was expressly created to fulfil this necessity.

Warburton is traditionally a relatively conservative city, especially compared to its twin city of Leightonfield, across the border in New Surrey. When it was within the boundaries of the electorate of Middle Range, it was almost always represented by a MP from the conservative United Party. However, by the 1990s, demographic change and the demise of the United Party led to a decline in the conservative vote and the city has become electorally marginal. Independent local councillor Jack Berg was elected as the inaugural member for Nord at the 1990 election, and held it until his retirement in 2006. The Social Democrats' David Henneman narrowly defeated the Liberals to succeed Berg in the electorate. The seat remains marginal to the current day.
