The Left-Leaning Realist

Who you are

You vote like someone who's clocked that utilities privatisation failed and wealth concentration is a democratic problem, yet you're just as quick to vote down UBI or defend a VAT change on Motability leases. It's a Britain where power and wealth get spread out — more to the regions, less to the City — but where welfare has to earn its keep, not expand automatically.

Vs Britain

You split almost evenly with the national mood — siding with the majority on barely half these votes — which isn't fence-sitting so much as a genuine mixed mandate: solidly left on governance and the economy, firmly right on welfare and defence spending. Britain wanted faster medicine trials and Gibraltar's Schengen deal; you said no to both, out of step but not out of nowhere.

On your patch

Clacton mostly moves with you — near-unanimous on devolution, the £15bn defence boost, and calling out Farage's £5m donations row — but it split from you on the two-child benefit cap, where your area leaned harder against scrapping it than you did.

Blind spots

You've never voted on immigration, housing, or justice — striking gaps for a Clacton voter, and ones that would sharpen a profile that's currently strongest on economics and governance.

What's next

This is an early sketch, built on just fifteen scored votes — cast a few more, especially on immigration or housing, and the picture stops being a shape and starts being a portrait. We'll keep refreshing it every week you vote.
