The Public-Service Liberal

Who you are

You are a public-service liberal: strongly left on the economy, welfare and personal rights, but more constitutionally traditional and security-minded than your headline label suggests. You will accept higher taxes when they buy something tangible — as you put it, services “have to be paid for” — while still backing benefit scrutiny, firm rules for serious offenders and a stronger defence posture.

How you've moved

A while back, you were The Rights-First Unionist; you are still recognisably that voter, but now sharper as a tax-and-service social democrat, less interested in right-wing cooperation and more willing to fund collective provision openly.

Vs the UK

You land almost exactly where the country does overall, siding with the UK majority on 29 of 46 votes, but your instincts are less culturally punitive and more protective of rights than the national mood. The tension is telling: you resist a codified constitution while defending jury trial, free speech and equal treatment in practice — a traditionalist about institutions, not about people’s private lives.

Your circle

You agree with your wider circle more often than not, but PNutt is your true lockstep ally, especially on Rights; Moomin is the sharpest clash, where constitutional agreement cannot bridge your split on rights. You are not simply following your crowd: you share its centre, but keep a distinctly public-service conscience.

What's next

Your next ten votes will test whether the constitutional traditionalist and the welfare-state liberal can keep living together — and each vote will make that picture truer.

The Rights-First Unionist

Who you are

You are a rights-first unionist: comfortable with defence, borders and national cohesion, but instinctively suspicious of moral policing and culture-war solutions. You will pay more tax for services that work — as you put it, people want services, “and they have to be paid for” — yet you are no blank-cheque collectivist, backing tighter university numbers and practical housebuilding.

How you've moved

A while back, you were The Liberal Unionist; you are still recognisably that voter, but the edges are clearer. You have softened your old Westminster instinct by backing power moving outward, while becoming more open to reducing migration — without joining the harsher argument that demographic change itself should be reversed.

Vs the UK

You are neither a reliable majority voter nor a habitual dissenter: your record lands about evenly against the country’s prevailing mood. The sharpest gap comes on rights, where you resist bans, panic and enforced “traditional values” even when the national majority is more impatient.

Your circle

Your Centre-Right circle is not really your tribe: you agree with it less than half the time. CDRook is your workable ally, while LexHelie is the deepest clash, especially where constitutional loyalty collides with individual rights.

What's next

The open question is whether your unionist, defence-minded side can coexist with your increasingly localist and rights-first instincts. Ten more votes will sharpen that balance — and make the picture truer than any snapshot.

The Liberal Unionist

Who they are

You're a unionist by instinct — no to Scottish independence, no to regional devolution, yes to more nuclear capability — but the moment the vote turns to how people live, you swing hard left: no to banning the burka, no to branding trans people a danger, yes to a National Care Service funded from general taxation. It's a coherent shape once you see it: keep the state strong and singular, keep it out of people's bedrooms and wardrobes.

Vs the UK

You split almost evenly with the country, agreeing on ten of your last sixteen votes, but your breaks are pointed — you voted no on using Spain's army against migrant crossings and no on banning the burka while large majorities said yes to both. Those aren't drift, they're where you actually live.

Your circle

You agree with the people you follow less than half the time, which is unusually independent. Fred_bloggs is your closest ally, and tellingly it's on constitution — the same ground where LexHelie, your biggest clash, splits from you hardest. Same category, opposite pulls: that's the fault line running through your whole circle.

What's next

Thirteen scored votes is a first sketch, not a finished portrait — every vote you cast from here sharpens it, and a new read lands each week to prove it.
