You are a centrist-left voter with an unusually hard cultural edge: solidly left on welfare, tax-and-spend and education, but strongly right on rights, immigration and public authority. Your vision is a more protective state with firmer boundaries, not a softer society without limits; “universal suffrage means exactly that” captures the egalitarian instinct beneath it.

A while back, you were The Welfare Traditionalist; you have moved into The Egalitarian Enforcer. The underlying bargain has held, but your recent votes have made it clearer: social-care reform, taxing back Winter Fuel Payments and shifting business rates left, alongside hostility to climate priorities, the EHRC and preferential housing rules.

You usually travel with the UK majority, siding with it on 46 of 60 recent votes, but your combination is less conventional than your consensus record suggests. You are more redistributionist than the nation on welfare and wealth, yet markedly tougher on immigration, cultural institutions and the boundaries of acceptable authority.

Your right-leaning circle is not quite your tribe: you agree with it only a little over half the time. LeighEdwards is your closest ally, aligned on Rights and Justice but divided over Welfare and Governance; Angel is the sharpest clash, sharing your immigration and rights instincts while splitting decisively on Welfare and Economy.

Your open question is whether economic egalitarianism remains the foundation, or becomes the price of admission for an increasingly hard-edged social outlook. Ten more votes will sharpen that fault line—and make the picture truer than any single referendum can.

You want a UK that taxes wealth, protects the NHS, builds homes and funds care — but expects borders, institutions and public culture to have rules. Your politics are an unusual pairing: welfare-state solidarity and economic intervention sit beside tougher immigration, anti-woke instincts, stricter justice and a strong defence of shared norms.

A while back, you were The Culture-War Realist; now you are more clearly The Welfare Traditionalist. The cultural edge has held, but the larger record has revealed a firmly left economic core — wealth taxes, rent controls, stronger unions, universal care and public services — while your recent immigration votes have made the old tension sharper rather than softer.

You usually travel with the country, siding with the UK majority on most recent questions, but your combination is less conventional than that record suggests. You can join the national consensus on migration and rearmament, then break from its instincts on tuition, care and welfare: you want the state to be generous without becoming permissive.

Your circle leans Right, but you run only slightly with it, agreeing on just over half of shared votes. LeighEdwards is your closest ally on justice and health, though welfare and the economy divide you; Angel is the sharper clash, despite common ground on energy and immigration, because your egalitarian economics pull you left.

Your next ten votes will test whether the welfare traditionalist is your settled identity or a balancing act between economic solidarity and cultural authority; the picture sharpens every time you vote, and the next read will be truer for it.

You want a Britain that's culturally firm and institutionally restless — strict on integration and public order, unsentimental about the Crown, sceptical of "nanny state" fussiness but happy to enforce rules that keep the streets sane, from ebike speed limits to burka bans.

You're mostly in step with the country — the nation banned the burka, distrusts wokeness, and wants ebikes reined in, same as you — but you broke ranks on nuclear defence, voting no while nearly two-thirds of Britain said yes, and on banning extremist parties, where you said no against a nation split the other way.

Hackney North is your echo chamber almost everywhere — monarchy abolished, Burnham's break from Thatcherism welcomed, wokeness called out, burka banned — all unanimous in your tiny local sample. The one place you diverge from your own patch is nuclear defence, where your area also said no, so actually you're aligned there too; the real friction is with the country, not the street.

Ten votes in and you've never touched welfare, immigration, housing, health or justice — the profile so far is pure culture-and-constitution, with the bread-and-butter categories that usually define left-right politics still totally unscored.

Early days, but the shape is already sharp: a right-leaning culture warrior with a republican streak. Cast a few votes on immigration or welfare and this profile will stop guessing at your economics and start proving them — come back and sharpen it.
