The Pragmatic Traditionalist

Who you are

You want a Britain that holds the line on social and cultural questions — sceptical of marriage equality's claims to progress, wary of gender ideology, firm on defence spending — while staying quietly practical where policy meets daily life: build the social housing, don't refight old wars. It's less ideology than instinct: guard the culture, fix the roof.

Vs Britain

You're usually in step with the country — eight of your last ten votes landed with the national majority — but your rights votes cut hard against a nation that split evenly or leaned the other way on marriage equality and transgender questions. On the JCPOA you joined literally everyone else who voted; on Farage's various scandals, you weren't swayed by the crowd cheering him on.

On your patch

No local data yet on any of your votes — your area hasn't shown its hand, so there's nothing to measure you against locally. That's the first gap worth closing.

Blind spots

You've cast judgment on rights, defence, education, housing and foreign policy — but welfare, immigration, the economy, justice, and health are all untouched. For someone this decided on culture, staying silent on immigration and welfare is the loudest gap in the record.

What's next

Six scored votes is early days — enough to see the shape of a values-first conservative with an independent streak, not enough to be certain. Vote on the gaps, especially immigration and welfare, and this profile will sharpen fast — every vote you cast rewrites it.
