The Anti-Militarist Egalitarian
You want a Britain that spends on people, not on hardware — you rejected the extra £15bn for defence and the "defence over welfare" framing outright, while backing Ukraine and calling Russia's bluff. Pair that with a strongly left instinct on rights and economy, and the picture is of someone who wants the state redistributing power southward from London and money away from the military, but who still expects individuals — on welfare, on education — to pull their weight.
You split almost exactly down the middle with the country — on side with the majority in 14 of 30 votes — but the misses are telling: Britain wants more defence spending, a written constitution, and devolution to the regions; you want none of it. When the nation swung sharply against Thatcher's legacy or towards seeing the UK as too London-centric, you were right there with them, decisively.
Kemptown and Peacehaven has voted with you almost every time it's had the chance — unanimously against defence spending, against the monarchy, against Farage, for Ukraine — making you less an outlier locally than a fairly faithful echo of your own streets.
You've never voted on immigration, housing, justice or health — extraordinary gaps for someone this engaged with defence and constitutional questions, and exactly the terrain where your left-leaning instincts would be tested hardest.
Twenty-three scored votes in, your shape is already sharp — cast a few more on immigration or housing and we'll see whether the egalitarian holds firm or bends, and we'll be here every week to tell you.
