THE WELFARE REPUBLICAN

Who you are

You want a Britain rebuilt from the institutions up — no monarchy, a written constitution, proportional representation, power pulled out of London — with welfare and rights as the load-bearing walls. Your hardest convictions aren't abstract: unanimous left on welfare, strongly left on rights, and a persistent line that England outside the south-east has been shortchanged since Thatcher.

How you've moved

Last week you were "The Old Left" — protective, redistributive, defined mostly by welfare instinct. That backbone hasn't shifted, but the picture has widened: you're now clearly a constitutional radical too, stacking votes for abolishing the monarchy, a written constitution and PR into one coherent republican thread that wasn't visible before.

Vs Britain

You mostly ride with the majority — on the monarchy, the written constitution, PR, London-centrism — but you split from it sharply on "Labour is a threat to the UK", where you sided with the 62% yes against your own tribe's instinct, and again voting NO on white Britons facing discrimination when most said yes. That's not drift, that's a voter who reads each question on its own terms rather than by team colours.

Blind spots

Immigration, health, housing, justice, foreign policy, energy — an entire policy universe you haven't touched yet. For someone this decided on welfare and the constitution, silence on immigration and health is the loudest gap in the file.

What's next

This is still early days on volume — 21 scored votes is a shape, not a verdict. Vote on housing or immigration next and we'll see whether the republican leveller holds or the right-leaning order streak (shopfronts, vocational funding) turns into something bigger. Every vote you cast rewrites this — come back and see who you've become.

THE OLD LEFT

Welfare state, built to last

You want a Britain that scraps the two-child cap, protects Motability leases, and caps insurance payouts for the wealthy — a country that still believes the state exists to catch people, not means-test them into despair. Your one clean break from that instinct — voting against the forced-adoption apology — reads less like inconsistency than a generation's discomfort with retrospective judgment on the past.

Vs Britain

You split with the country as often as you side with it, but the pattern isn't random: where the nation votes for comfort or symbolism, you tend to vote for the harder, more redistributive choice — backing devolution when the country barely mustered a majority, and opposing extra defence billions where Westminster opinion was split down the middle.

On your patch

No local data has landed yet for your votes — early days. As more of your area weighs in, we'll be able to tell you whether you're the exception on your street or simply early to where it's heading.

Blind spots

You've never voted on immigration, housing, health, energy or justice — extraordinary gaps for a profile this decided elsewhere, and exactly the terrain where a lifetime's instincts would be most revealing.

What's next

This is only a first sketch, built from eight scored votes — cast a few more, especially in those blind spots, and we'll start showing you not just what kind of Brit you are, but how that's shifted across nearly a century of watching this country vote.
