The Sensible Balancer
You're voting for a Britain that keeps its head: cut business energy costs, invest in space and security, but also give fathers paid leave and force truth out of public officials. It's a pragmatic, centre-right instinct with a soft edge — no ideology, just what seems to work.
You're rarely the outlier. On nine of your ten scored votes you landed with the national majority — against early prisoner release, for energy reform, against stripping Mo Farah's knighthood. Your one real break from the crowd came on the West Bank import ban, where you voted no against a nation more evenly split than you were.
No local data has come through yet on your recent votes — too early to say whether your area walks in step with you or not.
Seven scored votes is a light footprint, and huge swathes of British life — housing, immigration, health, education, the economy itself — remain untouched. For someone this instinctively practical, it's a shame you haven't weighed in on the issues that would actually test that instinct.
This is early days — a shape, not yet a portrait. Every vote you cast from here sharpens the picture, and we'll have a fresh read waiting for you next week.
