Electoral district of Wolseley

Wolseley is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in New Surrey Prefecture, first contested at the 1966 federal election. It is based in the southern suburbs of Forsythia, including its namesake, the coastal suburb of Wolseley.

The sitting member, since the 2011 by-election, is Lisa Day, a member of the Social Democratic Party.

History
Wolseley was proclaimed at the 1966 redistribution. It is an outer suburban seat that generally has 'mortgage belt' characteristics, including a high proportion of young families. The coastal suburbs in the electorate's east are more affluent and have an older population, and that part of the seat leans conservative. Since its creation, Wolseley has tended to be a marginal seat, although it was held by a right-of-centre party for all but one term until 1994. Since then, it has generally been held by the governing party.

Former prime minister Mike Behrens represented Wolseley in the Enderronian Parliament from 1966 to 1970 and 1974 to 1992.
