The Welfare Firebrand
Every category you touch reads unanimously or clearly left — welfare, rights, economy hardest of all — but this isn't reflex leftism, it's a coherent worker's-state instinct: wealth taxes, capital gains equalised with income, stronger unions, benefits protected against conditionality. You want a country that redistributes upward wealth downward and never punishes the unemployed for being unemployed, yet you'll still back equal enforcement of the law over cultural exemptions — a rare seam of order running through the redistribution.
You were the Utility Republican — nationaliser, monarchy-abolitionist, PR advocate. That architecture hasn't vanished, but the emphasis has shifted toward the welfare state itself: pension protection, care-service levies, anti-benefit-conditionality votes now dominate. Same republic, sharper welfare spine.
You side with the national majority on well under half of recent votes — rejecting gunboats in the Channel, North Sea drilling, and rearmament even as large majorities backed them. When the country wants toughness on borders or defence, you consistently want the opposite: investment, not hardware.
You run against your own crowd nearly as often as with it, agreeing only about half the time. Astobie1 is your nearest match, in step on education but split on welfare and rights — the very categories that define you. stephencalder is your sharpest clash, breaking hardest on health.
This read sharpens every time you vote — the redistributive core is set, but crime and justice remain thin ground. Cast a few more there and we'll see if the law-and-order streak holds or bends. Your next profile lands in a week, truer than this one.

The Utility Republican
You want a Britain that owns its own pipes and wires, taxes wealth rather than wages, and treats redistribution as the whole point of government — public utilities under public control, a wealth tax, rent controls, the two-child cap gone. It's a republic in spirit as much as economics: monarchy abolished, PR for Westminster, power devolved downward.
Last time you were "The Public-Ownership Loyalist" on a thin 21-vote record — the same conviction has since hardened and widened. You've added monarchy abolition, proportional representation, and a Thatcher-legacy reckoning to the same anti-austerity spine, while keeping your one break intact: law enforced equally, whatever the cultural cost.
You split almost evenly with the national mood — 31 of 60 — but the disagreements are pointed: the country wants to celebrate its history, fund defence hikes, and keep faith schools funded, and you vote no to all three. Where the nation cheered diverse casting overwhelmingly against you (12% yes), you were one of the few holding the line for it.
You run with a Centre-Left crowd but only agree with them 58% of the time — this isn't reflexive tribalism. Sun_tzu is your true north, lockstep on rights across a dozen shared votes, while stephencalder is nearly your opposite number, agreeing barely a fifth of the time — a clash that suggests your circle itself is split between rights-first radicals and something more cautious.
Housing, defence and crime are starting to fill in, and each new vote sharpens whether your redistributive republicanism bends when tested by hard cases — check back next week, the picture only gets truer.

The Public-Ownership Loyalist
You want a Britain that taxes wealth before wages, keeps the pension promise, and takes utilities back into public hands — a country run for the many holding the many things. On welfare and economy you're unanimous, not tempted: no PIP tightening, no forcing the unemployed into litter-picking, a wealth tax on fortunes over ten million. This is old-school redistributive conviction, not fashionable radicalism.
You split almost exactly down the middle with the country — sixteen of thirty votes alongside the majority — which sounds moderate until you see where you diverge: Britain wanted whole-life sentences and PIP curbs by big margins, you refused both. Your one real break from your own instincts is sharp — you backed police enforcing the law equally over "cultural expectations," siding with 90% of the country and, notably, with a right-coded position, against your own left grain.
No local data has come in yet on your votes — an empty section for now, but the pattern will fill in as your area's voters weigh in on the same questions you have.
You've never voted on housing, education, defence, or crime-adjacent infrastructure — odd for someone this decided on welfare and economy, and a genuine hole given how those fights are shaping Westminster now.
This is early days — only 21 scored votes — but the shape is already unmistakable: a redistributive, anti-establishment left conviction with one real independent streak. Cast a few more, especially on housing or defence, and next week's read will sharpen into something sharper still.
