The Unaligned Realist
You don't sound like a partisan — you sound like someone reading the paper and reacting to each story on its merits. But one thing is firm: defence spending should rise, full stop, no trade-off with welfare accepted.
You're rarely the outlier — eight of your ten votes landed with the national majority, including near-unanimous backing for 3% GDP defence spending. Your break from consensus came on ID cards, where you voted no while the country leaned narrowly the same way but by a much tighter margin — you're more sceptical of state surveillance than the average yes-voter realises.
No local breakdowns have come through yet for your votes, so there's nothing to compare against your area — early days.
Six scored votes across just two clear categories — Justice and Defence — is a thin foundation, and huge areas like welfare, housing, immigration and the economy are untouched. Right now this profile shows you're instinctively hawkish on defence and mixed on justice; everything else is still unwritten.
This is a first sketch, not a verdict — cast a few votes on welfare or immigration and the picture sharpens fast. Come back next week; we'll show you exactly how you've moved.
