You vote against the death penalty and against tougher sentencing for non-British offenders, yet you also want firmer immigration controls — a Britain that is compassionate in its justice system but not naive about its borders. On the economy you side left, opposing a new cash-and-ISA tax and backing a national construction strategy for new towns; you want the state building and taxing wisely, not squeezing savers.

You're rarely the outlier: on 9 of 12 recent votes you sat with the national majority, from opposing NHS abolition to backing electrification targets. Where you break from the crowd is telling — most of Britain thinks Britain's become a "joke country" after seven PMs in a decade; you don't.

Hertford and Stortford mostly nods along with you — unanimous against the death penalty, tougher sentencing and a federal UK, and fully behind flood defence investment and electrification. The one crack: your area split evenly on rejoining the EU while you voted a firm no, a rare local disagreement worth noticing.

Justice is your strongest, clearest conviction so far, but huge swathes of national life — welfare, health, education, defence, the economy beyond one vote — remain untouched. This is early days: a thin but coherent centre-left sketch, not yet a full portrait.

Cast a few votes on welfare or health and this profile stops being a sketch and starts being unmistakably you — every vote you add sharpens the picture, and we'll be back next week with the next draft.
