THE PATCHWORK RADICAL
Your scored votes point left on economy and education, right on business — but the throughline isn't tribal, it's appetite for upheaval: abolish the monarchy, rejoin the EU, tilt universities toward trades, admit Britain's too London-centric. You want a country rebuilt from the regions up, not managed from the centre.
You're evenly split with the national mood — with the majority on 6 of 10 — but the misses are telling: Britain voted for a written constitution and you said no, and you back re-joining the EU while the country as a whole still says no. You're not a contrarian by instinct, just unpersuaded by the constitutional fixes everyone else fancies.
South Shields backs you almost everywhere — monarchy, vocational education, EU return, teacher pay — except on that constitution question, where your area voted emphatically no while the nation said yes. That's your one real breach with home turf, and it's a meaningful one: you're more of a written-constitution sceptic than South Shields itself.
Ten votes and not one on immigration, welfare, justice, defence or housing — the profile of a man with strong instincts on structure and money but an unmapped view on the issues that usually define left and right hardest.
Three politically scored votes isn't a verdict, it's a sketch — vote on welfare or immigration next and this stops being early days and starts being you, properly, in full colour, updated weekly.
