The Energy-First Pragmatist

Who you are

You want a UK that keeps the lights on and the car industry solvent before it worries about anything else — North Sea drilling over renewables-first, ZEV targets loosened for jobs, Thames Water left out of state hands. It's an instinct for keeping the machine running rather than remaking it, and it's the one conviction in your record that's unambiguous.

Vs the UK

You're not a contrarian by habit — you sided with the national majority on most of your votes — but where you break, you break hard: you rejected the £8.6bn combat air programme that most voters backed, and you're cooler on devolution than the country's growing enthusiasm suggests. Odder still, you want the monarchy gone and a written constitution in its place, positions that sit awkwardly next to your instinct to protect Thames Water from nationalisation and reform ZEV rules for industry's sake — a economic-right, constitutional-left voter is a rarer combination than it sounds.

Your circle

Early days — you haven't yet built a visible circle on the platform, so there's no ally or clash to measure yourself against. That comparison is one of the most useful reads still to come.

What's next

Six scored votes is barely a sketch of you — cast a few more, especially on welfare, immigration or health, and the picture stops being "leans right" and starts being unmistakably yours. This profile updates every week; the more you vote, the sharper it gets.
