is a
Constituency represented in the
House Of Commons of the
Parliament Of The United Kingdom .
The seat is based on the
Traditional 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 solitary Conservative victory in the
