The Guardianist Protectionist

Who you are

You want a Britain that decarbonises fast, taxes wealth rather than savings, and softens its edges on crime and immigration — no death penalty, no harsher sentencing for non-British offenders, no crackdown on net migration. It's a green, welfare-minded, internationalist Britain, built from steady convictions on economy and justice rather than slogans.

Vs Britain

On the big culture-war referendums you're often the outlier — voting to stay in a rejoined EU while the nation split against it, wanting electrification accelerated while the country dithered. Yet you sided with the majority barely half the time overall, which marks you less as a reflexive contrarian than someone voting issue by issue, unmoved by which way the crowd leans.

On your patch

St Albans backs you almost every time — 100% local agreement on rejoining the EU, Starmer's resignation, solar subsidies, the federation question. Your patch is your echo chamber; the real tension in your record is with the nation, not your neighbours.

The tension

Here's your contradiction: staunchly left on economy and justice, but you flip hard-right on governance and business — backing steel import quotas and a permanent data-centre moratorium. You're a free-trade sceptic wearing a redistributionist's coat, protectionist instincts sitting inside an otherwise progressive frame.

Blind spots

You've cast zero votes on welfare, defence, education, health or transport — a striking gap for someone this opinionated on tax and justice. The next vote that would sharpen this profile most: anything touching the welfare brake or the NHS's funding model.

What's next

This is early but already vivid — nineteen scored votes and a real shape emerging. Cast a few more, especially in those blank categories, and next week's read will cut even closer to the bone.
