Electoral District Of King (New South Wales)
King was an electoral district in the Australian state of New South Wales. It was created in 1904 as a result of the 1903 New South Wales referendum, which required the number of members of the Legislative Assembly to be reduced from 125 to 90. It largely replaced Sydney-King, losing a part to Darling Harbour. It was expanded to include parts of Sydney-Fitzroy and Sydney-Bligh. It also included Lord Howe Island, Montague Island and South Solitary Island. In 1920 NSW introduced proportional representation and the district was absorbed into the multi-member electorate of Sydney. NSW returned to single member electorates in 1927 and King was recreated.

Social conservatism is a political philosophy and variety of conservatism which places emphasis on traditional power structures over social pluralism.

Social conservatism is not to be confused with economically interventionist conservatism, where conse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
