The Division of Changshou (/ˈtʃʌŋʃoʊ/ chung-shoh) is a Craftian federal division in Jebsten. It was created in 2049 and was first contested at the federal election later that year. It is named after the Notchropolis outer suburb of Changshou, which is named after the Chinese concept of "longevity." The division is provincial and roughly reverse L-shaped, taking in the northern and western outskirts of the Notchropolis metropolitan area through to the border with Addams, as well as the southeastern corner of the Notchropolis suburban area, including the suburb of Changshou itself.
The sitting member, since the 2070 federal election, is Alex Michalowski, a member of the Craftian Conservative Party.
==History==
Created in 2049 with the expansion of the House of Representatives from 80 to 100 electorate seats, Changshou covers the Conservative Party's traditional strongholds of the business-centric far southern suburbs of Notchropolis, as well as the semi-rural Eastern Rivers region, making it a natural safe seat for the party. While classed as a provincial seat, Changshou is actually a hybrid suburban-rural electorate, with some parts of the seat being located within the Notchropolis suburbs, which are more marginal and have contributed to the Conservatives losing Changshou in the past, for example from 2058 to 2064. However, other than during this time, it has been held continuously by the Conservatives since its creation.
In recent years, the Liberal Party of Craftia has overtaken the National United Party to finish second in Changshou, due to increasing gentrification in the suburban parts of the electorate.
