MacDonnell is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Wentworth Metropolis. It was created in 1990 and first contested at the federal election later that year. It is located in northern Wentworth, on the shore of Hounslow Bay. The district is named after William MacDonnell, the first Prime Minister of Enderron.
The sitting member, since the 2014 election, is Damian Firestone, a member of the Social Democratic Party. He had earlier served as the district's member from 1998 to 2002.
==History==
MacDonnell is anchored in the northern suburbs of Wentworth. It was created in the 1990 redistribution following the abolition of the district of Eltham. The western two-thirds of Eltham became the bulk of the new seat of MacDonnell, while the remaining eastern territory was redistributed into neighbouring electorates.
The district straddles the border between the affluent Liberal stronghold of the North Shore and the Social Democrats' heartland of the Wentworth Sandbelt. As a result, whenever the seat is redistributed, a shift of a few kilometres to the SDP-leaning east or Liberal-leaning west can radically alter its political landscape. MacDonnell is a bellwether seat, having continuously been held by the party of government since its creation in 1990.
