The Fortress Carer

Who you are

You're right across almost everything that touches order, borders, and the machinery of the state — immigration, constitution, rights, defence — but the moment the question turns to illness, learning or a roof, you break hard left: the National Care Service, a PIP overhaul, NHS care shifting into the community, more homebuilding. The country you're voting for is a fortress that still runs a proper welfare state behind its walls.

How you've moved

Last read you were "The Consensus Carer," a thin, five-vote centre-left sketch built almost entirely on that care instinct. Eighty-five scored votes later, the carer in you has survived — but it's now wrapped inside a record that reads clearly right overall, hardened by unanimous convictions on constitution, rights and immigration you hadn't shown a while back.

Vs the UK

You still mostly move with the country, siding with the national majority on seven in ten recent votes — but your outliers are the loudest thing about you: banning Islam, bringing back the death penalty, and axing the Scottish Parliament all put you well out ahead of where Britain currently stands.

Your circle

NeilBullock is your closest ally, near-lockstep on governance and constitution though you split on energy and justice; JohnMcLaren is the opposite number, agreeing barely three times in ten, the two of you fighting the same constitutional ground from different sides. Your circle sits at Centre on average — you sit well to its right.

Promise

Whole categories — defence, foreign policy, business — are still barely tested in your record, and each vote fills them in. Come back next week and find out whether the fortress and the carer keep holding together, or which one finally wins out.

The Consensus Carer

who you are

You want a Britain that spends generously on the big shared institutions—an NHS that vaccinates every teenager, a National Care Service funded from general taxation, help with heat pumps and solar panels—while keeping a sharper eye on individual welfare claims like PIP. It's a practical split: collectivist on the things that catch everyone, tighter on the things that catch some.

vs Britain

You're rarely the outlier. On nine of your ten recent votes you landed with the national majority—backing the meningitis jab, the care service, rural policy boards, cyber sanctions on Russia—the same broad consensus most of the country reached. Your one real break from the crowd came on Adult Social Care Fair Pay, where you voted no against a nation that leaned yes.

blind spots

Five of your ten votes carry a political signal, all clustered around welfare, energy and health—which leaves enormous territory untouched: immigration, defence, justice, education, the constitution. You've built a household view of the state; you haven't yet said what you think about the borders around it.

early days

This is a thin record so far—five scored votes is barely a sketch—but the shape is honest and consistent: generous on shared services, firmer on individual entitlement. Cast a few more votes on immigration or defence and we'll start to see whether that split holds, or whether it was welfare alone doing the work. Every vote you make sharpens this picture; come back next week and we'll show you how it's moving.
