Warwick is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Flinders Prefecture, first contested at the 1966 federal election. It is an L-shaped district that wraps around the southwestern and southern suburbs of Flinders City. It is named after activist Cecil Warwick.

The sitting member, since the 2002 federal election, is Theo Stefanos, a member of the Liberal Party of Enderron.

History

Warwick was proclaimed at the 1966 redistribution, in which the size of the Enderronian Parliament increased from 100 to 125 seats. In its original form, the electorate was more coastal and included areas closer to the Flinders City CBD. Over the years, it has been pushed further south and west to accommodate the increasing urban sprawl in the city's outer suburbs, and moved to its approximate current location following the 2010 redistribution, which resulted in the creation of a new seat, Ashbrook, in the city's inner south and east. These changes, coupled with demographic changes in the region, have made Warwick much safer for the Liberals; the Social Democrats have not held the seat since 2002.
