History
Sydney Shore is a provincial electorate located to the east of Troll City, covering a peri-urban area facing the Lake Sydney shoreline. The seat has remained consistently marginal throughout its entire existence, frequently changing hands between four parties: the United Party, Conservative Party, Liberal Party and Reform Party. It has also acted as a somewhat reliable bellwether, being rarely held by opposition MPs. Since 2008, no sitting member has retired or resigned (with the exception of Rory Tran in 2066), with all being defeated at the polls. The vote is spread evenly across the four main parties, with often no party garnering more than 25 percent of the vote.
