The Isle of Wight is a Unitary Council or Authority. Until 1995, the Isle of Wight was part of the county of Hampshire but for over 150 years, had fought to break away and rule as its own county council. In 1995, Isle of Wight officially became a Unitary Council, and is completely self supporting in all services, except Police, as a county, and regional administration. The Isle's Police services, are still a joint service with Hampshire county.
The Isle of Wight is represented in British Parliament's House of Commons as a single electorate constituency. It is also the largest electorate constituency in the country, with an electorate of over 108,000, which is greater by 50% than the average electorate in England (the average is about 70,000).
While the Isle of Wight has had a history of maintaining a fiercely independent status, it has also been a key battle ground for national elections, due to being the largest electorate constituency in England.
