Division of Redleaf

The Division of Redleaf is a Craftian federal division in the state of Addams. It was created in 2049 and was first contested at the federal election held later that year. It is named after Peter Redleaf (1646–1724), an English explorer who was one of the first Europeans to document and record the Reatinese language. The electorate covers a thin band of Addams' rural south, stretching almost across the entire state from the Jebsten border to the Meyang border, yet never being wider than 120 kilometres from north to south. It has been named "Craftia's most gerrymandered electorate" due to its unusual shape, despite the seat fitting entirely within the Craftian Electoral Commission's rules for seat boundaries.

The sitting member, since the 2049 federal election, is Reagen Queanbeyan, a member of the Craftian Conservative Party.

History
Redleaf is one of the four seats in central rural Addams popularly known as the "Blue Wall", a highly rural and conservative region of the state. The current Conservative margin is 19.52% over the National United Party. The other seats in the Blue Wall are Holbrook (18.43% margin), Papele (20.57%) and Trijunction (24.76%). Redleaf has been held by Queanbeyan for the Conservative Party since its creation in 2049. The party has never dropped below a majority on first preferences in this electorate.

The Republican Party of Craftia polls relatively well here, as the seat sits in the party's strongest performing area of southern Addams. It has finished third in the seat since the 2055 election.
