The Centraliser's Instinct

Who you are

You're wary of devolution, wary of Brussels, wary of Andy Burnham's whole project — the throughline isn't ideology so much as a settled preference for the centre holding. Your Britain doesn't rush to hand power to Manchester, Gibraltar, or the EU; it keeps decisions close to Westminster and treats "transfer of power" as a phrase to be suspicious of, not celebrated.

Vs Britain

Britain's actually split down the middle on most of this — devolution votes nationally run close to 50-50 — but you've landed firmly on the "no" side almost every time, including against a genuine against-the-grain moment: you backed asylum decisions staying with judges rather than the public, a distinctly liberal instinct sitting oddly next to your otherwise hard-line record.

On your patch

Here's the striking thing: on nearly every vote, your single-voter "local area" mirrors you exactly — 0% yes where you voted no, 100% yes where you voted yes. That's not really a community verdict yet, it's an echo; you're currently the loudest (and only) voice from West Bromwich in the room.

Blind spots

You've cast real political judgement on governance and defence, but welfare, housing, health, justice, education — the categories that actually decide most people's daily lives — are untouched. A hard-right profile built almost entirely on constitutional questions is a striking place to start, not a finished picture.
