The Grounded Collectivist

Who you are

You want a more equal, publicly minded UK: council homes, public water, tougher limits on corporate power and a generous welfare state, without turning solidarity into coercion. Your internationalism is unusually firm, but so is your refusal to force communities out of the country for holding unpopular beliefs; the tension is that you still vote against major transport schemes when they feel wasteful or over-centralised.

How you've moved

A while back, you were The Rail-Sceptic Collectivist; you are still hard-left and suspicious of concentrated power, but now the picture is broader and more constitutional. You have sharpened into a public-ownership radical who also wants proportional representation and a ceremonial monarchy, yet remains wary of Westminster granting Scotland another independence vote.

Vs the UK

You often stand where the UK majority does not: against benefit cuts, capital punishment, migrant welfare bans, forced community service and exploiting more oil and gas. The nation’s instincts are more punitive and restriction-minded than yours, while your support for inheritance tax on unused pensions puts redistribution ahead of an electorate that usually resists it.

What's next

Your next 10 votes will test whether the transport exception is a principled localist brake or simply a dislike of expensive state ambition; the more you vote, the sharper this unusually distinctive profile becomes.

The Rail-Sceptic Collectivist

Who you are

You want a more equal UK: abundant council housing, protected welfare, expansive rights, humane immigration policy and an independent foreign policy. Your politics are collectivist without being automatically statist—you back public provision, but not every grand scheme sold in its name.

How you've moved

You were The Selective Collectivist; you have held the same hard-left core, but sharpened its dividing line. Housing and climate justice have strengthened, while your hostility to military escalation, migration caps and culture-war exclusion has become more explicit; the old suspicion of grand projects remains, now joined by distrust of banks and political power.

Vs the UK

You are unusually willing to stand against the national mood: opposing welfare cuts, migration caps and tougher cultural policing even when majorities backed them. Yet you are not reflexively anti-establishment—your support for the UK’s union and rejection of political melodrama show a grounded internationalist rather than a romantic revolutionary.

What's next

Your unresolved question is whether transport is a narrow case of waste and centralised failure, or the beginning of a wider institutional distrust. Ten more votes will test that boundary—and make this already distinctive picture sharper, truer and harder to mistake.

The Selective Collectivist

Who you are

You want a more equal, better-housed, outward-looking UK: expansive on welfare, rights, climate action and international solidarity, but wary of coercion and punitive nationalism. Your distinctive wrinkle is transport: you back public provision in principle, yet reject costly schemes such as HS2 when the promise outruns the delivery.

How you've moved

You have moved from The Public-Works Dissenter to a more fully realised selective collectivist: the hard-left core has barely shifted, but your recent votes sharpen the boundary between social ambition and institutional trust. You backed stronger climate rules, stopped short of an ICE force, opposed SATs and rejected sending foreign prisoners abroad — while still resisting projects or powers you see as blunt, expensive or misdirected.

Vs the UK

You are about as often against the UK majority as with it, which makes you less a reflexive contrarian than a consistent dissenter on the nation’s hardest edges. The gap is clearest on migration, welfare and climate: where the country reaches for restriction or retrenchment, you keep choosing solidarity and rights.

What's next

Your open question is whether selective distrust becomes a governing philosophy: can the state build the homes and protections you want without earning more of your faith? Ten more votes will sharpen that tension and make the picture truer still.

10 August 2026 · after 229 votes

The Public-Works Dissenter

Who you are

You vote for collective protection: council homes, welfare, rights, climate action and an independent foreign policy, with Ukraine supported and migrants defended from punitive politics. Your sharpest instinct is shelter and solidarity, yet you resist HS2 and regional devolution — proof that your leftism is practical, not merely expansive.

How you've moved

You have moved from The Rights-and-Shelter Internationalist to a more distinctive public-minded dissenter: holding steady on housing, rights and welfare, but sharpening your independent foreign policy and willingness to reject expensive infrastructure. You have also become more willing to vote against the national mood, especially on migration, diversity and prison release.

Vs the UK

You are broadly more left-wing than the UK, particularly on welfare, immigration and rights, though the contrast is not total: the nation often travels with you on taxes, council homes and foreign policy. Your real distance appears when popular opinion turns punitive — and when you defend climate action or Ukraine against a sceptical minority.

What's next

Your open question is whether your egalitarianism can accommodate a harder view of competence: more homes and public investment, yes, but which institutions and projects deserve the cheque. Ten more votes will sharpen that tension and make this picture truer; every ballot adds another line to the portrait.

8 August 2026 · after 213 votes

The Rights-and-Shelter Internationalist

Who you are

You vote for a country that treats housing, dignity and legal protection as public commitments, not rewards for the fortunate. Your opposition to welfare cuts, benefit surveillance, harsh borders and the death penalty sits alongside support for climate action, international development and a stronger constitutional settlement.

How you've moved

You have moved from The Constitutional Egalitarian to a more uncompromising rights-and-shelter radical: still practical on standards and delivery, but sharper against social-care costs falling on households, workplace inequality and naval force against small boats. The old institutionalism remains, but the redistributionist instinct now speaks louder.

Vs the UK

You are roughly as often against the national majority as with it, which makes your politics less tribal than your leftward record suggests. Your sharpest break is economic: you reject debt panic and welfare retrenchment even when the country overwhelmingly embraces them, while your support for transparency around foreign donations shows you are not incapable of an institutional brake.

What's next

Your next ten votes will test whether this is a settled worldview or a broad coalition of causes: rights, redistribution and internationalism pulling together, with education and state capacity still tugging the other way. The picture will sharpen every time you vote—and ten more votes unlock a fresh read.

5 August 2026 · after 197 votes

The Constitutional Egalitarian

Who you are

You want a more equal UK, but not merely a more generous one: you want housing built, wealth taxed, fossil profits restrained and rights entrenched against whoever holds office. Your deepest instinct is institutional — protect dignity, redistribute power and make the state deliver, whether through a codified constitution, stronger local government or a first-time-buyer brake on housing.

How you've moved

A while back, you were The Rights-First Localist; now you have sharpened into The Constitutional Egalitarian, with less interest in localism as an end in itself and more in redesigning the rules of power. The core remains steady, but your recent votes make the welfare and public-spending commitment harder to mistake: you reject the deficit brake, benefit surveillance and cuts even when the national mood favours them.

Vs the UK

You are not simply a contrarian: you joined the country on fossil-profit taxes, Ukraine and Westminster sobriety, but stood firmly apart when voters demanded welfare cuts or tighter citizenship rules. Your sharpest tension is that expansive rights and welfare coexist with an occasional practical instinct for limits — lower migration, maintained basics in schools and difficult reform postponed rather than embraced.

What's next

Your next ten votes will test whether this is a settled constitutional leftism or a coalition of fierce principles and selective exceptions; the picture only gets truer every time you cast one.

3 August 2026 · after 181 votes

The Rights-First Localist

Who you are

You are a strongly left egalitarian who wants the UK to be fairer, more devolved and more protective of individual rights — with housing treated as a public necessity, not a market afterthought. You defend the EHRC, resist permanent political bans for offenders and back moving power out of Westminster, but your leftism is managerial as well as moral: build more homes, strengthen local economies and make institutions work.

How you've moved

A while back, you were The Housing-Rights Firebrand; now you have become a rights-first localist, less defined by confrontation and more by where power should sit and how reform should be delivered. The convictions are holding steady, but you have sharpened the practical edge — backing development, regional income-tax powers and housing delivery while still resisting punitive populism.

Vs the UK

You are not simply the nation’s left-wing conscience: you sided with the UK majority on roughly half of the recent votes, making you a genuine counterweight rather than a permanent dissenter. Your sharpest break with your own side is immigration — you support reducing net migration, yet reject the idea that demographic change justifies reversing immigration altogether.

What's next

Your next ten votes will test whether this is a settled synthesis: expansive rights and public provision, tempered by borders, competence and the need to build. Keep voting and the picture will become truer — especially on whether your localist, delivery-first instinct can coexist with the hard-left welfare and housing settlement you have defended for years.

2 August 2026 · after 165 votes

The Housing-Rights Firebrand

Who you are

You vote for a UK where shelter is a social guarantee, wealth carries more of the load, and power is made more accountable — through a National Care Service, stronger unions, elected institutions and protection for minorities. Your convictions are unusually concentrated around housing, rights and governance: this is not just a safety net, but a demand to redesign who gets security and who gets heard.

How you've moved

A while back, you were The Safety-Net Builder; now you have sharpened into The Housing-Rights Firebrand, moving from defending provision to challenging the rules and institutions behind it. The shift is real, though not total: you still want welfare protected, but you are increasingly willing to fund it through wealth taxes and to remake the constitution around representation and accountability.

Vs the UK

You split almost perfectly with the national mood, often standing where the country hesitates or turns away: against North Sea drilling, militarised migration and privatising the NHS, while backing gender-affirming care and political donation bans. Your tension is revealing: you reject “basics first” education absolutism, yet support testing, rearmament and tougher action on serious offenders — a progressive voter with a firm streak about competence and security.

What's next

Your next ten votes will show whether the firebrand hardens into a settled rights-first programme, or whether that pragmatic streak becomes a second political self; the picture gets truer every time you vote.

27 July 2026 · after 133 votes

THE SAFETY-NET BUILDER

Who you are

You want a Britain that insures its people against everything — health, housing, old age — and builds its way out of scarcity rather than means-testing its way through it: a National Care Service on NHS principles, nationalised utilities, council homes rebuilt from shared-ownership wreckage. Welfare, housing and rights aren't just left-leaning for you, they're unanimous — no PIP tightening, no benefit suspensions, no compromise.

How you've moved

Last time you were the Council Housebuilder, an economic-left identity built from bricks and solar mandates. That instinct hasn't faded — it's hardened into something closer to a doctrine: welfare and rights now read as near-total convictions rather than policy preferences, even as you quietly conceded ground on defence, backing force to retake the Falklands and admitting Britain can't stand alone without NATO.

Vs the UK

You split almost exactly down the middle with the country — siding with the majority on prison reform and pothole repairs, breaking hard from it on fracking, digital ID, and PIP, where the nation wants a tighter safety net and you want a wider one. On child killers' capital punishment you defied a nation split right down the middle, voting no when the country nearly voted yes.

Your circle

Early days for named allies here — but your record already tells its own story: builder economics paired with civil-libertarian instincts, a combination that will make some circle-mates cheer your welfare stance and wince at your defence votes.

What's next

This read gets sharper with every vote — especially the blind spots still open in education, culture and the constitution. Cast a few more and next week's read will tell you whether the builder or the institutionalist finally wins.

22 July 2026 · after 93 votes

The Council Housebuilder

Who you are

You vote for a Britain rebuilt from the ground up — literally. Housing is your unanimous conviction, rights and foreign policy close behind, and you'd rather the state build the homes than subsidise the market to maybe get around to it.

How you've moved

Last time you were "The Institutional Dissenter" — a process-first voter loyal to fairness over tribe. That instinct hasn't vanished, but it's been overtaken: you're now visibly a housing-and-climate builder first, your Rights convictions still intact but no longer the headline.

Vs Britain

You split almost down the middle with the country — 26 of 42 — but the pattern is telling: you break from the crowd on the big-ticket left calls (no to new North Sea licences against 75%, no to green levy relief against 77%) while quietly joining the nation on housebuilding pragmatism (grey belt release) and hard security calls (arresting MP threats, cyber sanctions on Russia). You're not reflexively oppositional — you're selective.

Your circle

No named ally or clash surfaces strongly in your data yet, but your votes suggest you'd sit left of a typically cautious Labour circle — happy to back UBI and a state housebuilder where softer left voters might hedge.

What's next

This is a sharp early shape, not a finished portrait — 46 scored votes in, and your housing conviction is doing the heavy lifting. Keep voting and the next read will tell you whether that builder's instinct survives contact with education, culture, and the constitutional questions still sitting blank.

15 July 2026 · after 32 votes

The Institutional Dissenter

Who you are

You're not chasing a single cause — you're chasing candour. Your hardest convictions all point the same way: you want a justice system that resists trial-by-media, public utilities answerable to the public, and a "legal duty of candour" for officials (which you backed almost unanimously with the country). Your Britain is one where institutions are honest before they're efficient, and where the state owns the pipes and admits its mistakes.

Vs Britain

You split with the national mood almost exactly half the time — no tribal reflex here. You rejected NHS reform along European lines when most of Britain wanted it, opposed the IRGC terror designation when four in five backed it, and championed prisoner releases against a country that voted them down 2-to-1. But you're no reflexive contrarian: you joined big majorities on utilities, candour, and Russian sanctions.

On your patch

No local data has come through yet for your area — early days. Once your neighbours start voting alongside you, this is where the sharpest local contrasts will show up.

Blind spots

For someone this exacting on justice and governance, you've been silent on housing, education, and the constitution — the machinery that decides who gets a fair shot in the country you're otherwise so protective of.

What's next

This is your first read — a sketch of a mind that trusts systems more than sides. Cast a few votes on housing or education and the picture sharpens fast; every vote you make from here rewrites this profile, and we'll be watching how it moves.
