Torrens is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Wentworth Metropolis, first contested at the 1946 federal election. It is located in the inner eastern suburbs of Wentworth. The district is named for British politician and land reformer Robert Richard Torrens, who founded the Torrens title land registration system, which is used in Enderron to this day.
The sitting member, since the 2002 election, is David Zeng, a member of the Social Democratic Party.
==History==
Torrens covers the densely populated inner eastern parts of Wentworth, being adjacent to the the electorate of Wentworth, which covers the Wentworth central business district. The area was historically solidly working class, but migration and gentrification have significantly impacted the seat demographically. Despite the demographic changes, the Social Democratic Party has held Torrens for its entire existence. In the 21st century, the rise of the Liberal and the Green vote in the electorate has turned Torrens into a three-way competitive seat; on notional two-party-preferred terms, the Social Democrats only hold the seat by a margin of 2 percent as of the 2018 federal election.
