The Welfare Realist

Who you are

You want a Britain that builds and redistributes — rent controls, a 2% tax on wealth over £10 million, a decade-long capital plan for health and social care — but you don't extend that generosity reflexively to the benefits system. This is a left worldview with a disciplinarian streak: fix the housing market and tax the rich, but ask hard questions about who claims what.

Vs Britain

You're rarely an outlier — you sided with the national majority on 7 of your 10 recent votes, including the near-unanimous call to keep net zero and the strong majority for devolution. Where you diverge is telling: on tightening PIP assessments and stopping mild-ADHD claims, you voted with the crowd too, but these are the votes that cut against your own leftward grain, not against the nation's.

On your patch

There's no local data yet on any of your votes — an odd gap for a profile this decided. Once your area starts registering opinions, we'll be able to tell you whether you're the voice of your street or the exception on it.

Blind spots

Ten votes and not one on immigration, justice, defence, or education — big absences for someone this clear on housing and welfare. Your profile is confident but narrow; it doesn't yet know what you think about the border, the courts, or the classroom.

What's next

This is early days — eight scored votes is a shape, not yet a settled character, and the welfare tension is the thread most worth pulling. Vote on justice or immigration next and we'll find out whether the disciplinarian in you runs deeper than welfare — every vote you cast sharpens this a little more.
