Everything about Montgomeryshire Uk Parliament Constituency totally explained

Montgomeryshire is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It elects one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
The Montgomeryshire Welsh Assembly constituency was created with the same boundaries in 1999.

Boundaries

The seat is based on the ancient county of Montgomeryshire, in the principal area of Powys. One of the UK's most rural and isolated constituencies, it has also been one of the small handful of seats that the Lib Dems (formerly the Liberal Party) can call safe. Apart from a lone Conservative victory in the 1979 general election, Montgomeryshire has elected Liberal or Liberal-affiliated candidates since 1880.
