Electoral district of Reed

Reed is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Wentworth Metropolis, first contested at the 1998 federal election. It is centred on the inner eastern suburbs, including a bulk of the Borough of Southwark. It is named for Daniel Reed, who was Prime Minister of Enderron from 1930 to 1934.

The sitting member, since the 2010 election, is Kendra Lu, a member of the Social Democratic Party.

History
Reed was proclaimed at the 1998 redistribution, and was mostly carved out of the neighbouring seats of MacDonnell, Heathbridge and Brighton. The southern and western ends tilt towards the Liberal Party of Enderron due to the proximity to the affluent bayside suburbs of Brighton Beach and Clovelly, while the rest of the electorate largely votes for the Social Democrats. In its current form, Reed is one of the most multicultural seats in the country, with a high proportion of Asian Enderronians. It features a mixture of working class and aspirational suburbs.

The 2002 and 2014 redistributions resulted in the creation of the electorates of Jansen and Dykstra respectively, which moved more middle-class areas out of Reed. These changes have caused the seat to become stronger for the Social Democrats at recent elections.
