The Dissenting Idealist

Who they are

You want a Britain that doesn't reach for punishment first — no burka bans, no automatic deportations, no nuclear build-up — and does reach for structural fixes: fair pay talks for care workers, heat pumps over bills, education over prison. It's a coherent, gentle-radical worldview: fix the system, don't cage the symptom.

Vs Britain

On the vote to deport foreign offenders, the nation went 84% yes — you were in the room's smallest corner voting no. Same story on the burka ban, judicial review limits, and further nuclear development: Britain moved right, decisively, and you didn't move with it. Yet on the GLA's abolition you actually landed with the near-majority who said no — proof you're not reflexively contrarian, just consistently left.

On your patch

No local data has landed yet for your area, so there's no "your town agreed" moment to report this week — an open thread rather than a gap in you.

Blind spots

Nine scored votes and every single category — from housing to rights to defence — shows exactly one vote each. That's a full ideological silhouette but a thin one; whole worlds (economy, health, education, immigration policy beyond deportation) are still unwritten. Vote on Education or Economy next and we'll see whether your instinct for structural fixes holds under real pressure.

What's next

This is early days for a strikingly against-the-grain record — epic in distinctiveness, thin in volume. Every vote you cast sharpens this profile; come back and we'll show you exactly how the picture moves.
