Bruce's first federal election was the by-election for the seat of Flinders, then a semi-rural area on the eastern side of Port Phillip Bay in Victoria. He then campaigned in six House of Representatives elections, five of them successfully. In 1929 he became the only Australian Prime Minister to lose his own seat in a landslide victory for Labor, when the government of James Scullin took office. Bruce lost Flinders after the distribution of preferences. In 1931 he regained the seat, but resigned in 1933.
