THE RIGHTS-FIRST DISSENTER

Who you are

You want a Britain — or rather a Scotland, independent of it — built on equality and an expansive idea of who deserves protection: marriage equality, a National Care Service funded by general taxation, no to nuclear weapons, no to banning anyone's party or dress. It's a left that trusts individuals over the state's power to punish or exclude.

Vs the UK

You're usually with the country, not against it — seven of your ten votes matched the national mood, including the landslide for a National Care Service. But on the votes where Britain wanted toughness — deporting foreign offenders, banning extremist parties — you broke hard from an 83%-yes and 43%-yes majority. That's not contrarianism for its own sake; it's the same rights-first conviction holding steady while the country wobbles.

Your circle

You run close with peterwright1467, in near lockstep at 88% and especially tight on Rights — your strongest ground. But StephenEarle is your opposite number, agreeing barely one vote in five, splitting hardest exactly where you're firmest: Constitution and Rights. Your circle leans centre-left; you sit well to their left.

What's next

Ten votes is just the opening sketch — enough to show a rights absolutist forming, not enough to call the whole shape yet. Keep voting and each week's read gets sharper, closer to the real you.
