The Division of Herbert is a Craftian federal division in the state of Jebsten. It was created in 2004 and was first contested at the federal election later that year. It is named in honour of James Herbert (1946–2002), the sixth Prime Minister of Craftia (2001–2002), following his assassination. The electorate covers the inner western suburbs of Notchropolis.
The sitting member, since the 2055 federal election, is Elise Duktz, a member of the National United Party.
==History==
Herbert has changed considerably since its creation in 2004. It was originally carved out of the neighbouring Division of Highlane, which was James Herbert's old seat, and covered what was then the outer western suburbs and outskirts of Notchropolis. As the urban sprawl continued, the seat became progressively smaller in area as the metropolitan area grew in population density. Originally stretching as far west as Twinleaf Town, Herbert is now anchored in the inner west, having slowly shifted east throughout the years to the point that it is now has an inner metropolitan demographic.
Despite the geographical changes, Herbert has continuously been held by the United Party since its creation. It maintains its heavily working class character in the west while the eastern end is now more gentrified and affluent. Herbert still sits in the United heartland of Western Notchropolis, and thus the NUP's dominance in the seat has never been seriously threatened.
