Isle of Wight (/waɪt/ WYTE)[1] is a constituency[n 1] represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2017 by Bob Seely, a Conservative.
Created by the Great Reform Act for the 1832 general election, it covers the whole of the Isle of Wight. It had the largest electorate of any constituency at the 2019 general election.[n 2]
Following the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the constituency will be abolished with the island being divided into Isle of Wight East and Isle of Wight West.[2]
