Southcott is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Wentworth Metropolis, first contested at the 1986 federal election. It is centred on the inner northeastern suburbs of the city, particularly the North Shore region. The electorate is named in honour of colonial politician Thomas Southcott, the founder of the British Mariana Liberal Party and Premier of Enderron from 1840 to 1843 and 1844 to 1850.
The sitting member, since the 2006 federal election, is Vincent Muller, a member of the Liberal Party of Enderron.
==History==
Southcott was created at the 1986 redistribution, serving as a replacement for the district of Dorterhoek.
Long-serving MP Keith Herbert, the last member for Dorterhoek, attempted to transfer to the new seat at its first contest, but was narrowly defeated by Liberal Democrat candidate Frank Nygaard. The seat reverted to form at the 1990 election.
Like other North Shore seats and Dorterhoek before it, Southcott has usually been a comfortably safe seat for the Liberal Party and its predecessors; the Social Democrats have never won Southcott or Dorterhoek, and usually run dead in the seat. The electorate has one of the highest proportion of high-income families in the country.
