You want a firmer UK: stricter on welfare, immigration and offending, less permissive about security and social order, but not blindly loyal to the old machinery of power. Your record is tougher than your centre-right label suggests, yet your support for public ownership, electoral reform and political donation limits gives it an unmistakably reformist edge.

You were The Kingmaker, the practical centre-right voter rebelling against the constitutional furniture; now you look more like a welfare disciplinarian with that rebellion still intact. Recent votes have sharpened you on immigration, rights and justice — from replacing the Refugee Convention to keeping Palestine Action proscribed — while leaving your distrust of concentrated power untouched.

You usually travel with the national majority — 49 of 60 recent votes — but your instincts are more punitive than the country’s on benefits, borders and social order. The tension is telling: you reject universal basic income and want foreign nationals barred from most benefits, yet you also backed a cap on political donations and public control of water.

You run near the centre of your circle rather than inside it, agreeing with them only six times in ten. stephencalder is your closest ally, especially on parties and immigration; Slawomir is your biggest clash, despite shared ground on foreign policy and the economy, because personnel and elections expose your independent streak.

Your next 10 votes will test whether the new justice-and-immigration edge becomes a settled law-and-order identity or meets another constitutional rebellion. Each vote makes the picture truer — and the next read will sharpen with what you choose.

You want a firmer, more economically disciplined UK without surrendering public ownership, electoral reform or the right to redraw the constitutional rules. Your instincts are tough on crime and tax, yet strikingly untraditional on power: you backed proportional representation, a ceremonial monarchy and devolved broadcasting, while rejecting a written constitution. You are not a party loyalist so much as a practical reformer—comfortable with the welfare brake, hostile to private water monopolies, and willing to defend institutions only when they earn it.

You have moved from The Independent Right-Reformer to something more precise: still centre-right on the essentials, but now unmistakably a constitutional dissenter. The newer votes sharpen the pattern—resisting press regulation, inheritance-tax expansion and a gold standard, while pushing against London’s dominance and Westminster’s old electoral settlement.

You usually travel with the national majority, but your agreement is not passive. You can side with the country on public ownership and police fairness while breaking with its appetite for a written constitution; your deepest instinct is reform without ideological upheaval.

You run near the centre of your circle rather than inside it, agreeing with it only a little more often than not. stephencalder is your closest ally—lockstep on rights and the economy, but less so on personnel and elections—while Slawomir is your sharpest clash, despite the same broad economic and rights ground.

Your open question is whether constitutional scepticism becomes a settled programme or remains your great exception to right-leaning instincts. Ten more votes will sharpen that answer and make the picture truer.

You want a more disciplined UK: tougher justice, lower costs for employers, firmer borders and less indulgence for failure. But this is not a pure small-state conservatism — you have backed public utilities, resisted replacing disability support, supported GP action and opposed testing children for their future employability. Your politics are right-leaning in backbone, selective in application: hard on systems, less certain about making individuals carry every burden.

A while back, you were The Cost-Conscious Realist; now you are a sharper, more openly dissenting centre-right voter. The economic instinct has held, but you have added a broader distrust of political management — rejecting the government’s record, questioning parliamentary democracy and opposing fashionable environmental and social prescriptions even when the national mood ran the other way.

You sit almost level with the UK’s majority overall, siding with it on 19 of 28 votes with a national split. That makes your dissent more interesting than a blanket anti-establishment pose: you resisted net-zero acceleration, wealth taxes and the proposed state funeral, yet joined the country on AI protections, foreign-prisoner sentencing and the mixed economy.

Your circle is only a loose fit: you agree on just over half of shared votes. stephencalder is your closest ally, though personnel questions divide you; Slawomir is the sharpest clash, despite common ground on the economy. You run with your crowd on costs, but not on who deserves trust.

The open question is whether your softer instincts on health and education become a lasting counterweight to your justice-and-economy right turn. Ten more votes will sharpen this early-but-real portrait — and show whether the independent streak becomes a settled philosophy.

You want a Britain that pays its way — energy reform to cut business bills, no soft touch on early release, welfare that doesn't drift into blank cheques like PIP replacement. But you're no market purist: public utilities should stay in public hands, and you backed GPs taking action against a contract you clearly think shortchanges them. This is pragmatic centre-right, not ideological.

You're no outlier — siding with the national majority on seven of your last eleven votes — but where you break, it's telling: the country wanted the early release scheme scrapped almost as loudly as you did, yet on paternity leave and the PIP overhaul, you held out against a public mood running the other way. You're not chasing consensus, you're checking your own ledger against it.

Your circle leans centre-left and still you agree with them two times in three — Slawomir, your closest ally, matches you on nine shared votes but only two-thirds of the time, which tells you something: you're not a tribalist, you're voting the issue, even when the crowd you follow leans the other way on economics.

Six scored votes is a sketch, not a portrait — early days. Keep voting and this profile will sharpen into something sharper than "leans right": the shape of exactly which Britain you're building, category by category, vote by vote.
