Brooklyn is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Janszoon Prefecture. It was created in 1871 and first contested at the general election later that year. It is a peri-urban electorate largely coterminous with its namesake Brooklyn County on the Kingscliffe Peninsula, bordering the outer suburbs of Wentworth.
The sitting member, since the 2018 federal election, is Kristine Oakley, a member of the Social Democratic Party.
==History==
Proclaimed at the 1871 redistribution, Brooklyn is the oldest still-existing electoral district in Janszoon. Its position on the Kingscliffe Peninsula has largely remained unchanged since its creation, although its eastern boundary has progressively moved westward over the years due to population growth in Kingscliffe and its suburbs. Brooklyn is characterised by a mixture of middle-class peri-urban communities in the west and the working-class outlying suburbs of Kingscliffe in the east.
During most of the 20th century, the seat tended towards the Social Democrats, but demographic change has made it less safe for the party since the 1990s.
Its most notable members include Allen Sjoberg, 21st Prime Minister of Enderron (1923–1926) and his son Ernest Sjoberg.
