Electoral district of Richmond

Richmond is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Flinders Prefecture, first contested at the 1990 federal election. It is named after the Richmond River, which flows through Flinders City, and is centred on the city's central business district and waterfront suburbs directly facing Avalon City across the Mackenzie Strait.

The sitting member, since the 2012 by-election, is Lauren Schrantz, a member of the Liberal Party of Enderron.

History
Although it was created as a notionally marginal Social Democratic seat, Richmond has been held by the Liberal Party and its conservative predecessors for its entire existence. It is unusual in that it is the only electorate that contains a major city centre with a predominantly conservative voting pattern. The closest the SDP has come to winning the seat was when it was first contested in 1990, where Conservative Party leader Jonathan Bowen prevailed with a winning margin of 4.13 percent. The seat has remained solidly in the Conservative and Liberal column ever since.
