Ten votes in and no scored political lean yet, but a shape is already forming: you're instinctively anti-establishment without being ideological about it — you backed a Rupert Lowe insurgency over Farage, waved off Shabana Mahmood, and gave Andy Burnham's Manchester model a nod while rejecting a No 10 unit relocating there. You want power tested and leaders judged on competence, not tribe.

You split evenly with the national mood — on the money with the crowd on six of your ten votes, out on your own for the rest. When Britain leaned yes on the £13.5bn defence plan, you said no; when the country was unsure about public juries deciding asylum appeals, you were firmly against it too. You're not a contrarian, but you're not a bellwether either — you pick your fights.

Here's the real story: your solo local area voted opposite to you on five separate questions, including Shabana Mahmood, the Manchester unit, and the defence plan. In a single-voter constituency, that's not a community disagreeing with you — it's just you, alone, checking your own instincts against the void.

You've cast zero votes on immigration, economy, welfare, health, justice, or defence policy detail — the actual terrain where left and right get decided. Right now you're voting on personalities and process, not on the substance that would tell us who you really are.

This is day one of a live picture — vote on tax, welfare, or immigration and the fog clears fast. Come back next week; the more you vote, the sharper this gets.
