- Playmander abstract "The Playmander was a form of malapportionment in the Australian state of South Australia, introduced by the Liberal and Country League (LCL), in place for 32 years from 1936 to 1968. It consisted of rural districts enjoying a 2-to-1 advantage in the state parliament, even though they contained only a third of the population, as well as a change from multi-member to single-member seats, and the number of MPs in the lower house was reduced from 46 to 39. The most populous metropolitan seats (26) had as much as 5-10 times the number of voters than the least populous rural seats (13) − at the 1968 election the rural seat of Frome had 4,500 formal votes, while the metropolitan seat of Enfield had 42,000 formal votes. Additionally, with a decisive advantage to the LCL, swing voters may have been more likely to vote for the expected status quo LCL government. Labor managed just one election win during the Playmander, the 1965 election.More equitable boundaries were subsequently put in place following the 1968, 1975, and 1989 elections. More seats were introduced, and seats were required to be proportionate, as well as having a unique fairness clause which directs the Electoral Commission of South Australia to redraw boundaries after each election with the objective that the party which receives over 50 percent of the statewide two-party vote at the forthcoming election should win the two-party vote in a majority of seats.The word Playmander is a portmanteau derived from the name of Premier Sir Thomas Playford and the political term gerrymander, though the system did not originate with Playford (it was introduced under his predecessor Richard Layton Butler). Playford was its primary beneficiary, however, as the LCL was able to comfortably stay in power for three decades even while losing the state-wide vote at multiple elections.One element of the Playmander remains to this day − the House of Assembly is still elected from single member districts.".
