The Early-Days Localist

who they are

Five scored votes is a thin file, but the shape is clear: you want a Britain that builds social housing, taxes mansion wealth, and doesn't let Washington dictate the defence budget — a state that spends on people, not just hardware.

vs Britain

You split evenly with the national mood, six times out of ten, which sounds neutral but isn't — you broke with the majority on the mansion tax and the NATO spending question, the two votes where your left instincts were sharpest, while agreeing with everyone that cars are practical and Farage would win Clacton.

on your patch

Your one-voter local sample mirrors you almost perfectly — 100% for the housebuilding programme, the mansion tax, the whole-systems energy fix — suggesting Southampton Test, at least in this tiny slice, is voting your instincts back at you.

blind spots

You've never touched welfare, immigration, health, justice or the economy — the categories that actually define a left-right identity in Britain — so this profile is a sketch, not a portrait yet.

what's next

Five more scored votes in categories like welfare or immigration would turn this from an early impression into a real conviction — cast them, and next week's read gets sharper, truer, and unmistakably yours.
