The Localist Insurgent
You want a Britain that decides things close to home — housing built by local plans, not Whitehall-drawn "spatial development strategies"; welfare that doesn't expand without limit; a state that governs less and consults less. Four of your ten votes were direct rejections of top-down planning frameworks — the 10 Year Capital Plan, joint council spatial strategies, the growth-framework proposal — a strikingly consistent instinct that centralised architecture, however well-intentioned, erodes the local judgment you trust more.
You're usually with the crowd — seven of ten votes matched the national majority — but where you break, you break hard: 82% of the country backed regional spatial strategies and you were one of a handful of holdouts against it, and you rejected the health capital plan that 72% of Britain waved through.
No local data has come through yet for your area, so there's no neighbourhood mirror to hold up — an early gap, not a verdict.
You've never voted on immigration, economy, justice or education — odd omissions for someone this decided on housing and planning, and the next place your worldview will either harden or surprise you.
Ten votes is enough to see the shape of you, not yet the whole picture — cast a few more, especially in that untouched territory, and this profile will sharpen into something sharper still, week by week.
