You vote for an expansive, protective UK: generous welfare, open immigration, strong rights, public ownership and a state that treats housing, care and the NHS as social guarantees. Your record is unusually consistent on the left, but not pacifist: you support military strength and Ukraine while resisting the idea that borders should decide who deserves help.

A while back, you were The Institutional Leftist — left on public services, the planet and governance, with one intriguing defence exception. You have not abandoned that instinct; you have widened and hardened it into a borderless egalitarianism, becoming sharply left on welfare, immigration, the economy and rights while retaining a distinctly defence-minded streak.

You are roughly as likely to oppose the UK majority as follow it, and your clearest breaks come where the country wants a welfare brake, tighter migration or a more restrictive rights culture. The tension is that you can stand with the nation on practical measures such as 5G and care, but against it when compassion is tested by benefits, asylum or identity.

Your Centre-Left circle is broadly your political home, but you are more uncompromising than its average: you agree with them often, without simply borrowing their instincts. Their middle ground does not fully contain your opposition to welfare cuts, benefit restrictions and leaving the ECHR.

Your whole record now makes the pattern unmistakable, but the open question is whether your defence-first instinct will keep coexisting with such expansive solidarity; ten more votes will sharpen that answer and earn the next living read.

Yours is a Britain where public institutions are trusted over private ones — you kept the GLA, want energy bills reformed rather than left to the market, and doubt the NHS needs a European makeover so much as more of itself. It's a vision built on defending what exists and improving it from within, not tearing it down.

You're a genuine outlier — siding with the national majority on only four of your ten votes. Where 85% of the country wanted NHS reform on the French or German model, you said no; where two-thirds backed the energy shake-up, you agreed, but for different reasons — you don't want the system replaced, you want it made to work.

Here's the contradiction worth noting: you're unshakeably left on governance, education, energy and health, but on defence you flipped right, backing the 2025 strategic defence review's warfighting readiness reforms. That's not incoherence — it's a voter who separates the welfare state from the war-fighting state and judges each on its own terms.

You've never voted on immigration, welfare, housing, the economy or justice — a striking silence for someone this decided on governance and health. Seven scored votes is early days; the shape is clear, but Britain's most contested territory is still untouched.

This is a first read from a thin but telling set of votes — cast a few more, especially in that untouched territory, and we'll sharpen this into something unmistakably yours. Every vote you make from here rewrites the profile; come back and watch it get truer.
