The Left-Leaning Realist

Who you are

You want a Britain with fewer bosses on golden ladders and more say for ordinary voters — you back PR, compulsory voting, devolved power to mayors, and you called it out plainly: it's wrong when CEOs earn "hundreds of times more" than their staff. But you're no soft touch on the state's chequebook — you opposed scrapping the two-child cap, opposed the child benefit boost, and doubted the student loan system needed fixing. This is a Britain reshaped democratically, not one that spends its way there.

Vs Britain

You're genuinely split with the country — siding with the majority barely more than half the time. Where Britain rallied behind Ukraine support, extra defence spending, and generous family payouts, you pulled back on all three; where most people wanted to protect UKRI's scientific standing, you didn't.

On your patch

Aberdeen South is where you're rarely alone: on devolution, PR, planning reform and CEO pay, your area matched you almost vote for vote. It's a rare comfort in a profile that otherwise argues with the room.

Blind spots

Fourteen scored votes is a start, not a verdict — you've never touched immigration, health, justice, housing or foreign policy, the very fault lines that usually reveal where centre-left instincts actually harden.

What's next

This is early days — the shape is there but not yet sharp. Cast a few votes on immigration or justice and watch this profile earn its edges; every vote you make from here writes the next, truer version of you.
