The Border-and-Rights Hardliner

Who you are

You want a Britain that deports fast, quits the ECHR, restores nuclear deterrence without apology, and treats "hate speech" as a euphemism for policed opinion — a state hard on borders and crime, wary of rights language used to dodge accountability. Welfare and rights are where your convictions are strongest and least mixed: cut the brake, sharpen the border, and let the rest — net zero, cannabis, monarchy — be judged case by case.

How you've moved

You arrived as the Welfare Realist, a thin, mostly economic sceptic weighing bills on their merits. Sixteen scored votes later you've hardened into something more defined: still no tribal romantic, but now unmistakably right-coded on rights, immigration and justice, not just spending.

Vs the UK

You mostly sit with the country — siding with the majority on 23 of 28 recent votes — but where you break, it's pointed: you'd keep the GLA (siding left against your own instincts) and you rejected the Widdecombe terrorism framing when most of Britain accepted it, a rare moment of caution from a voter otherwise comfortable calling for the death penalty's return.

Your circle

You run close with Stairhopper, agreeing four times out of five, but Nick44 is a genuine foil — barely a third of your votes align, and governance is exactly where you split, suggesting your hardline instincts on rights and borders don't travel with everyone you follow.

What's next

This is a sharper picture than the one you had — coverage on defence, energy and health has filled in nicely. Keep voting and the gaps still open — housing, deeper economy — will tell us whether that GLA vote was a one-off or the start of a real seam. Same time next week, sharper again.

The Welfare Realist

Who you are

You're not chasing an ideology, you're chasing what works — tough on welfare spending, unsentimental about Brexit, but happy to spend public money on AI research or protect rainforests when the case is decent. The Britain you want is competent and unshowy: a state that pulls the emergency brake on welfare while still writing cheques for things that plainly help.

Vs Britain

You mostly ride with the country — nine of your last twelve votes landed with the national majority — but you'll break away when it counts. On the emergency welfare brake and PIP eligibility for mental health conditions, you sided with a divided nation on the tougher side; on the ISA tax and deforestation import rules, you found yourself with the minority. No single tribe owns you.

On your patch

Macclesfield backs you almost unanimously — voting with you on Brexit, the AI labs, deforestation rules, welfare, all of it — except on the soy-and-palm-oil accountability question, where you broke from a town that voted the other way entirely. That's your one real tension: happy to protect forests abstractly, less keen to load compliance costs onto UK importers.

Blind spots

You've never voted on immigration, justice, health, defence or housing — huge fault lines in British politics — which means the "leans right" read here rests almost entirely on welfare. That's a strong signal but a narrow one.

What's next

Twelve votes is a sketch, not a portrait — cast a few more on immigration or health and this profile will start telling you things you didn't know about yourself. Every vote you make from here sharpens the picture; come back next week and see who you've become.
