The Punitive Realist
You want a Britain that punishes crime properly — death penalty back, tougher sentences for foreign offenders, PIP eligibility tightened — while the state pension triple lock gets scrapped and welfare stops being unconditional. This is a fiscal-hawk, law-and-order vision: fewer entitlements, harder consequences, less devolved fudge (no to federation, no to protecting the Barnett formula).
You're a serial dissenter — siding with the national majority on barely a third of your recent votes. Britain wanted vocational education reform, Ukraine support, and welfare-to-work conditionality; you voted no to all three, and you rejected the death penalty consensus Britain itself declined to embrace, only backing it yourself against a 40%-yes national tide.
Sheffield Central, though, is where you're vindicated almost every time — a hard-right city ward is unlikely, yet your area matched you on the death penalty, non-British sentencing, pension reform and Burnham's plan. It's a curious alliance: a punitive-right voter whose neighbours, on this small sample, keep marching with him.
Your record is oddly silent on Health, Elections, Business and Technology — big terrain for someone this decided on welfare and justice. And the real tension worth sitting with: you're strongly right everywhere except Energy, Rights and Foreign Policy, where you go unapologetically left — backing 2030 zero-carbon targets and questioning the transatlantic relationship. That's not noise, that's a genuine fault line in your own politics.
This is early days — 38 scored votes is a start, not a verdict. Vote on health or technology next and watch this profile sharpen into something no one else on refnation shares.
