You want a Britain that's redistributive at home and hard-headed abroad — one that funds childcare, decarbonises fast, and takes housing and rights seriously as unanimous, non-negotiable commitments, while still writing the cheque for 3% defence spending without blinking. Your comment on parliamentary democracy — that you vote for an MP, not a manifesto — is the tell: you're a leftist who believes in institutions, not a leftist who wants to burn them down.

Last week you were "Devolution Left, Hardware Right" — a regionalist with a defence blind spot in the making. That tension has sharpened rather than resolved: you're now clearly left on governance and economy, but the right-leaning cluster has spread beyond hardware into Business, Foreign Policy and Parties — you're not just pro-Navy, you're instinctively sceptical of populist disruption wherever it appears, from Farage to England's independence question.

You split from the national mood almost exactly half the time, and when you break it's rarely timid — backing 3% defence spending with the crowd, but standing nearly alone against the nation on Britain's indigenous concerns and ID cards, where large majorities went the other way.

Your area mirrors you closely on the big calls — donations, energy, football's soul — but on foreign affairs and government scrutiny (Israel, ID cards, indigenous concerns) it goes flat NO where you often reasoned your way to something more considered. You're the more engaged voter in a fairly disengaged room.

You've never voted on Transport, Culture, Food or Technology — odd gaps for someone this vocal on AI's job impact and flying taxis; worth filling before your next profile.

This is 93 scored votes deep and getting sharper each week — vote on culture or transport next and we'll tell you whether the institutionalist instinct holds when the subject turns parochial.

You want power and money pulled out of London and dropped into Manchester, Wigan, the North West generally — public ownership of utilities, protection for steel and car jobs, scepticism of billionaires hoarding wealth — but you pair it with a surprisingly hawkish streak on hardware: more defence spending, the Global Combat Air Programme, continued backing for Ukraine. This is Burnham-country social democracy with a rearmament budget attached.

You broke from the national majority on almost half these votes — reindustrialisation, the transatlantic relationship, North Sea drilling — usually pulling further left than the country while still voting yes to defence spending most Brits also backed; you're not a contrarian, you're just less impressed by nostalgia and more impressed by steel.

Your area voted with you almost everywhere — oil drilling, ZEV mandate, the £13.5bn defence plan, asylum appeals — suggesting you're less an outlier in Wigan than a fairly faithful echo of it, which makes the one local disagreement (the transatlantic relationship, where you and your neighbours split) worth noticing.

Nineteen scored votes and not one has touched education, justice, transport or the constitution — a big, undecided hole sitting underneath a profile that otherwise reads clearly left with a hard edge on defence.

This is a first sketch built on real signal but still thin in places — cast a few votes on justice or education and the picture stops being an outline and starts being a portrait; every vote from here sharpens it.
