The Fiscal Skeptic Left
You want a Britain that protects people from the sharp edges of the economy — scrap the two-child cap, keep VAT off Motability leases, don't let banks game the leverage ratio — while staying deeply unconvinced that Westminster's current menu of fixes, whether "good growth" or whole-systems energy plans, will actually deliver it. Your left runs through the wallet, not the flag.
You're out of step with the country more often than not — siding with the majority on barely a third of your recent votes. Where Britain overwhelmingly backed 3% defence spending and extra billions for 2026-2030, you split the difference: yes to the headline figure, no to the extra £15bn, a fiscal leftist's caution dressed as a hawk's instinct.
Here you're the outlier's outlier — South West Norfolk voted no on nearly everything you were asked about, often unanimously, while you found yourself agreeing with the nation instead. Your area said no to devolving power to mayors; you said yes. It's a small sample, but it's a real seam: your patch is more reflexively no than you are.
Twelve scored votes is early days, and huge chunks of the map — immigration, health, justice, housing, culture — are still blank. Given how sharply you lean on fiscal fairness, it's worth finding out whether that logic holds on housing and welfare's other pressure points.
This is a first sketch, not a verdict — every vote you cast from here sharpens the picture and tests whether "fiscal leftist, instinctive contrarian" survives contact with the categories you haven't touched yet. Come back and fill in the gaps; the profile gets truer every time you do.
