The Welfare State Loyalist

Who you are

You want a Britain that protects people from the sharp edges of life — lower the retirement age and pay for it through National Insurance, keep judges' discretion rather than handing sentencing over to formula, ban junk food ads before the watershed. It's a soft, protective left instinct: state as shield, not as market referee.

Vs Britain

You mostly ride with the crowd — seven of ten votes landed with the national majority, and you backed nuclear deterrence and the assisted dying question right alongside most of the country. But you split hard from the left-wing pack on Lewisham's Home Office question, siding with the 91% who rejected the ban — a genuinely right-coded vote sitting inside an otherwise Hard Left record.

On your patch

No local breakdown has come through yet for your area — too early to say whether you're the norm on your own streets or the exception.

Blind spots

Six scored votes is a start, not a verdict, and you've yet to touch some of the biggest fault lines going — economy, defence, housing, energy, education. On a profile this thin, one more vote in any of those could reshape the whole picture.

What's next

This is early days — the shape is there, but not yet the detail. Cast a few more votes, especially somewhere unscored, and next week's profile will start telling you something sharper about the Britain you're actually voting for.
