The Fortress Egalitarian

Who you are

You want a UK that is tougher at its edges and more exacting about wrongdoing, but not a smaller state at home. Immigration, justice and constitutional authority bring out your hardest convictions; on economics, you keep surprising the right, backing wealth and property taxes, protecting the triple lock, and resisting the idea that welfare should simply be taxed away.

How you've moved

You were previously The Prisonguard Populist; you have not changed direction so much as sharpened the shape — more explicitly fortress-minded on immigration and more suspicious of regional power, while your tax-and-pensions egalitarianism has held. The old order-and-fairness tension is no longer an open thread: it is becoming your defining combination.

Vs the UK

You usually vote with the national majority, so this is not a fringe identity dressed up as independence. But you are often more absolute than the country: ready to reduce migration, arm the state, abolish the EHRC and use severe penalties, while still joining the public in asking wealthier people to carry more of the bill.

Your circle

You run with a Centre-leaning crowd, but only loosely: drayton is your natural ally on immigration and housing, though the two of you part company on economy and environment. Nemo is the real counterweight — shared ground on defence and energy, but a deep divide over immigration and the constitution.

What's next

Your next ten votes will test whether the fortress keeps expanding or whether the egalitarian inside it demands more redistribution; the picture will sharpen every time you vote, and become truer with each new choice.

The Prisonguard Populist

Who you are

You want a harder-edged UK: gunboats in the Channel, the death penalty back on the table, benefits made tougher to claim — but funded, oddly, by taxing capital gains like income and hammering wealth before welfare. You're the rare right-leaning voter who thinks the state should punish and provide in the same breath.

Vs the UK

You're mostly in step with the country — siding with the national majority on 26 of 30 recent votes — but your dissents are pointed: you'd keep the triple lock while the nation split closer, and you back a council tax overhaul most voters also want but for very different reasons. You're not a contrarian; you're just further right on justice and immigration than most people who otherwise agree with you.

Your circle

Early days here — no circle data yet to set against you, so this read stands on your votes alone rather than your company.

What's next

This is a first sketch of a genuinely unusual combination — hard on crime and borders, unexpectedly redistributive on tax — and it deserves testing against more votes on foreign policy, culture and science, all still blank on your record. Cast a few more and the picture sharpens; a fresh read lands every week, and this one's only getting started.
