Oxley is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Cooksland Prefecture. It was created in 1966 and first contested at the federal election later that year. It is named for William Oxley, the 26th and longest-serving Prime Minister of Enderron. The district, Cooksland's largest by area is located in the prefecture's north and spans its entire east-west length.
The sitting member, since the 2018 federal election, is Sam Cormack, a member of the Liberal Party of Enderron.
==History==
Oxley is named after William Oxley, Enderron's longest-serving head of government and considered to be the father of Enderronian independence. Following Oxley's death in 1965, the Enderronian Electoral Commission decided to name an electorate in Cooksland, where Oxley spent most of his life prior to politics, after him.
Oxley stretches across all of northern Cooksland, covering a diverse range of landscapes and communities. In its southwest extremity, it borders the outskirts of the Rockingham metropolitan area. It is a safe seat for the Liberals, who currently hold it by a margin of 8.77 percent. The party and its predecessors have held the seat for all but three terms since its creation in 1966.
The seat was first contested at the 1966 election, where it was won by the United Party. It was narrowly won by the Social Democratic Party during its 1970 landslide, but promptly returned to United at the next election. United and its successors would proceed to continuously hold Oxley until it was unexpectedly lost to the Enderron National Party's Ed Wideman in the 2006 election. Wideman, a popular local member, was re-elected in 2010 before retiring at the 2014 election, in which the seat was reclaimed by the Liberal Party.
