The Old-Left Loyalist

Who you are

You are a creature of the postwar settlement: prisoner rehabilitation over punishment, paternity leave over productivity, a legal duty of candour for the officials who lie to inquiries. Your Britain is one where institutions answer to people, not the other way round — a quietly old-Labour vision, still intact at 78.

Vs Britain

You break from the crowd more than you'd think for someone this consistent — you backed early prisoner release when two-thirds of the country wanted it scrapped, and you opposed cutting business energy costs when nearly eight in ten voters said yes. But the real jolt in your record is voting to try Keir Starmer for treason, a rare lurch rightward that sits oddly against everything else you believe — a genuine contradiction worth noticing, not explaining away.

On your patch

There's no local data yet to set you against your neighbours — this section fills in once your area starts voting alongside you.

Blind spots

For someone so decided on justice and welfare, you've been silent on housing, health, immigration, the economy, education, defence — nearly the whole map. Eight scored votes is enough to reveal a conviction, not yet a worldview; the gaps are wide.

What's next

This is early days — a strong, legible left instinct on a thin canvas. Cast a few more votes, especially on immigration or the economy, and we'll see whether the treason vote was a one-off flash of anger or the start of something more interesting. Every vote you cast makes this truer.
