The Redistributive Pragmatist

Who you are

You want a UK that redistributes upward wealth downward — taxing assets over £10 million, building a National Care Service, keeping bus fares capped — while staying hard-nosed on who gets in and who gets to stay. This isn't muddle; it's a coherent old-Labour instinct: collectivist on the economy and the state, unsentimental on borders and crime.

Vs the UK

You split almost evenly with the national mood, but the pattern beneath the coin-flip is sharp: where the country swung right on deportation and NHS reform styled on France or Germany, you went with it; where it wanted the death penalty back or the Burka banned, you held the liberal line alone. Your own words on stamp duty and bus fares show a practical mind — you want subsidy that actually reaches people, not gesture policy.

Housing tension

Here's your real contradiction: a leftist on rights, transport, economy — yet clearly right on housing, wary of green belt release and Labour's homebuilding targets, warmer to grey-belt caution than the planners around you. It reads less like inconsistency than protectiveness — someone who's watched a housing market and doesn't fully trust the fixes on offer.

Your circle

Early days here — no strong circle signal yet from your votes, but the shape so far suggests you'd clash hardest with strict free-marketeers and run closest with welfare-state pragmatists who share your wealth-tax instinct but not your caution on new housing supply.

What's next

This read sharpens with every vote you cast — deportation, wealth tax, and housing sit in real tension right now, and the next few votes on immigration or planning could tip you decisively one way. Come back next week and let's see which way you lean.
