You want a Britain that owns its utilities, taxes its millionaires, houses its renters and cares for its sick through a National Care Service — but you want that Britain closed to newcomers claiming its benefits, and you'd rather drill Rosebank than sign a binding 87% emissions target. This isn't confusion; it's a coherent, old-Labour-meets-national-conservative settlement — solidarity for those already inside, a hard line at the door.

Last read you were the Fortress Egalitarian, equality at home and hard lines at the gate. That architecture hasn't cracked — if anything it's sharpened: you're now voting for national service and against Burnham's devolution "big bang" in the same breath you back rent controls and PIP reform, the fortress holding while the welfare state gets rebuilt around it.

You ride with the national majority more often than not — badger cull, wealth tax, NHS Modernisation Bill — but you break hard from it on climate targets and defence spending, going dovish while most of the country wants both tougher.

You agree with refnation less than half the time, in lockstep on immigration and energy but splitting clean on health and economy — the fortress you share, the welfare state you don't.

This is still early shape — Governance keeps leaning right against your left grain, and that dovish defence vote could be a one-off or a real thread. Keep voting and the picture only gets sharper; I'll have the next read within the week.

You want a Britain that redistributes hard at home — public utilities back in public hands, a housebuilding programme not seen since the post-war years, courts that aren't swayed by trial-by-media — while drawing a firm line at the border. Your economy, housing and justice votes are unanimous on the left; your immigration votes are unanimous on the right. This isn't confusion, it's a coherent old-Labour instinct: solidarity for those already inside, scepticism about who gets let in.

You were "The Council-House Tory" — a right-leaning voter with one stubborn left conviction on housing. That conviction has now swallowed the rest of you: economy, welfare, justice, defence spending have all swung left, and only immigration and governance still pull right. You haven't softened your borders instinct, you've built a whole left economy around it.

You mostly ride with the country — 21 of your last 30 votes landed with the national majority — but you broke hard from it on defence spending, voting against the extra £15bn while 72% of Britain backed it, and again on Starmer's record, where you're notably harsher than most.

You agree with your followed circle three times in five, closer than that with Ted_e_boy, your steadiest ally, and furthest from NevilleJones, who you side with barely more than half the time — a circle that averages centre while you keep pulling it left on economics and right on the border. Vote on a few more Governance and Constitution questions and this profile gets sharper still — the fortress-and-redistribution split is the thread worth watching next.

You want a Britain that's disciplined on the border, sceptical of green targets that bite before they deliver, and unsentimental about pension schemes and performers lists — but one that still builds. Your version of the right doesn't flinch at council housing or a National Care Service; it just insists the state should build things and pay for them properly, not manage decline.

You sided with the national majority on most of these votes, but where you broke away you broke hard: the country backed a Value for Money pensions framework by a landslide and you said no, and you rejected the Seventh Carbon Budget while most of Britain that voted leaned narrowly against it too — you just got there with more conviction.

No local data yet on any of your votes — this is a profile built purely on your own record, not your neighbours'. That's not a gap in you, just in what we can compare you against so far.

Seven scored votes and one real tension isn't a manifesto yet — you've never voted on Health, Justice, Energy, Defence or the Constitution, the categories where a right-leaning voter's instincts usually get tested hardest. Housing is your strongest conviction; everything else is still filling in.

This is early days, and it shows — the shape is there, the certainty isn't yet. Every vote you cast sharpens this picture; come back and we'll show you exactly how the Council-House Tory in you holds up once crime, health and defence are on the record.
