Durston is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Tojima Prefecture, first contested at the 1966 federal election. It is located in the inner southeastern suburbs of Shirakawa, and is named after doctor Christine Durston.
The sitting member, since the 2010 federal election, is Alison Tsuji, a member of the Social Democratic Party.
==History==
Durston was created at the 1966 redistribution, being carved out of the neighbouring electorate of Shirakawa South. Durston straddles the boundary between Shirakawa's more affluent inner city areas and working-class southeastern suburbs. Numerous redistributions over the years have moved it closer to and further from the Shirakawa city centre, affecting its voting patterns. At the time of its creation, it was a marginal seat, before shifting southwards from 1974 onwards and becoming a fairly safe SDP seat. It moved back towards the CBD in the 1990s, rendering it marginal again, before moving to its approximate current position at the 2006 redistribution. Despite these changes, Durston has been held by the Social Democratic Party for its entire existence, though the Conservative Party came within 1.46 percent of winning it at the 1998 federal election.
