Whetstone is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Wentworth Metropolis. It was created in 1840 and first contested at the general election later that year. It is an outer suburban electorate, centred on Whetstone National Park, from which it takes its name.
The sitting member, since the 2018 federal election, is Jared Flint, a member of the Liberal Party of Enderron.
==History==
Being created in 1840, Whetstone is one of the oldest still-existing electorates in Enderron. Over its long history, it has been held by different parties for long periods of time; the British Mariana Liberal Party held it continuously from 1843 to 1901, and the Enderron People's Party and its successor the United Party held it for all but eight years between 1911 and 1970. Originally a peri-urban seat, urban development in the late 20th century caused it to lean towards the Social Democratic Party. The seat was a near-bellwether from 1915 to 1998, being won by the party of government in every election except 1930, 1934 and 1954. However, since the SDP-friendly areas of Crecimento and surrounds were redistributed into seats in the north in the 1998 redistribution, Whetstone has become a fairly safe seat for the Liberals.
Whetstone's most prominent member is Sir Charles Leighton, the 12th Premier of Enderron, who held the seat from 1855 to 1901.
