The Statist Hardliner
You want a UK where the state builds houses, funds care through general taxation, and devolves power north — but where the border and the courtroom stay strict, deporting foreign offenders and banning extremist parties without a flicker of liberal squeamishness. It's less contradiction than a coherent worldview: collectivist on how the country looks after itself, disciplinarian on who gets to belong to it.
You're rarely a maverick — you sided with the national majority on most of your recent votes, from solar-panel mandates to the Northumberland line. But you break from the country's grain on rejoining nothing radical: you're firmly against NHS reform along European lines and against scrapping the GLA, quieter, steadier positions than the national mood on both.
Early days here — the data doesn't yet give you a named ally or clash, but your instincts (strongly left on governance, welfare and the constitution, right on immigration) mark you as someone whose circle will split hard on the border question even where they agree on everything else.
This is your first read, and it's already got a live thread running through it — a left-wing statist who won't budge on deportations and party bans. Cast a few more votes on economy, justice or elections and the picture sharpens fast; the read gets truer every week you keep voting.
