Ten votes in and the pattern is small but unmistakable: you want the state's hand back on the big utilities and the big questions. Public control of Thames Water, scepticism of new oil drilling in favour of renewables — this is a man who thinks Britain sold off too much and would like some of it back.

You're mostly in step with the country — siding with the national majority on eight of your ten votes — but not timidly so. On women in cabinet and on abolishing the monarchy, you voted with a minority that Britain as a whole rejected, suggesting your instincts run a touch further left and further reformist than the national mood.

Keighley and Ilkley, at least on your single vote each, agreed with you almost everywhere — Thames Water, renewables over drilling, monarchy, devolution — the one break being the written constitution, where you and your area both said no while leaving the national picture split. It reads less like independence of mind and more like a patch that thinks the way you do.

Your two scored categories — energy and rights — are both unanimous, but that's it: no economy, no immigration, no welfare, no crime, no health. This is a skeleton profile of a clear instinct, not yet a full worldview.

This is early days — three scored votes is a sketch, not a portrait. Cast a few more, especially on the economy or welfare, and we'll start to see whether that public-ownership instinct is the whole story or just the opening chapter.
