The Hawk Who Doubts the War

Who you are

You want a Britain that guards its borders, deports the dangerous, keeps its nukes sharp, and doesn't apologise for any of it — deportation of foreign offenders, banning the burka, scrapping the GLA, all voted through without hesitation. This is a restorationist's Britain: firmer, plainer, less negotiable.

Your fault line

Here's the catch: you're a defence hawk who thinks Britain should spend more on NATO and go nuclear — yet you opposed strikes on Iran and wanted the JCPOA kept alive. You'll arm the country to the teeth but you don't trust the men reaching for the trigger. That's not confusion, it's a considered scepticism of adventurism most hawks don't share.

Vs Britain

You split almost evenly with the national mood — agreeing on deportations and nuclear deterrence, breaking hard from majorities that backed marriage equality, PR, and Iran strikes. You're not a reflexive dissenter; you pick your fights, and when you break from the crowd it's usually on principle, not tribal reflex — like your lone vote to ban extremist parties, where you sided with a mere third of the country.

Blind spots

You've never voted on culture, science, business, or agriculture — an odd gap for someone this decided everywhere else. A voter with your convictions on rights and defence would likely have sharp, useful things to say about culture wars and industrial strategy too.

What's next

This is a rare, sharply drawn profile from just 37 scored votes — imagine how much sharper it gets once you weigh in on the categories you've skipped. Cast a few more and we'll sketch you again next week, tension and all.
