The Open-State Firebrand

Who you are

You want an expansive, protective UK: open to migrants, generous to people out of work, and unwilling to trade rights for harsher borders, heavier sentences or military muscle. Across immigration, welfare and rights, your leftism is not a preference but a governing instinct; even climate adaptation can outrank rearmament, while your opposition to oil, firearms and forced labour completes the picture.

How you've moved

You were The Open-State Absolutist, and you remain recognisably there — but the stance has become sharper, not softer. Immigration, welfare and rights have all pushed further left within the same hard-left band, while your refusal to prioritise homeless citizens over migrants shows solidarity holding even when the UK majority overwhelmingly chooses restriction.

Vs the UK

You are often the country’s dissenting conscience, siding with the UK majority on fewer than one in three recent votes with comparable data. Your sharpest tension is that you reject punitive welfare and migration politics, yet voted against calling falling home ownership a serious problem — a reminder that social justice, for you, is more about people’s rights than property or national belonging.

Your circle

Your Centre-Left circle is nearer to you than the nation, but still not fully your home: you agree with it regularly while remaining the harder-line egalitarian. MikeNolan is your clear ally, especially on justice and constitutional questions; your record suggests you run with the crowd on principles, then push them further on borders and welfare.

What's next

Your next ten votes will test whether this open-state solidarity keeps hardening, or meets a new fault line around housing, security and public spending; the picture only gets truer every time you vote.

The Open-State Absolutist

Who you are

You are the hard-left voter who treats immigration, welfare and rights not as negotiable policies but as tests of what the UK is for. You want a country that protects the vulnerable, extends belonging and resists coercion — from benefit sanctions to firearms, border deployments and withdrawal from the ECHR.

How you've moved

You have moved only slightly from The Open-State Firebrand: still fiercely open and rights-first, but now more explicitly resistant to the security state and the politics of demographic retreat. Your recent votes against leaving the ECHR, capping migration and cutting working-age benefits show the old conviction holding firm, while your opposition to border deployments makes the defensive instinct unmistakable.

Vs the UK

You regularly stand where the national majority does not: the UK has leaned towards tighter borders, tougher welfare rules and more policing, while you keep choosing solidarity over suspicion. Your sharpest contradiction is that you are not merely permissive; you are also willing to back interventionist public spending, NHS optimism and protections for newcomers when many on the left would retreat into caution.

Your circle

Your Centre-Left circle is an orbit, not a home: you agree with it often, but your hard-left consistency pulls beyond its average position. MikeNolan is your clearest ally, especially on housing and justice, yet your record suggests a more uncompromising open-state politics than the people you follow.

What's next

Your next ten votes will test whether this remains a settled creed or meets a new fault line between openness and public confidence; each ballot sharpens the picture, and the more you vote, the truer this profile becomes.

The Open-State Firebrand

Who you are

You are a hard-left egalitarian with unusually firm convictions on immigration, welfare and rights: the state should protect people, not police their eligibility or close its doors. You rejected an ICE force, overseas prison sentences and benefit surveillance, while backing support for non-citizen immigrants; even on AI replicas, you favour a new protection of personal dignity.

How you've moved

You have moved from The Borderless Egalitarian to the Open-State Firebrand: essentially holding steady, but with sharper resistance to suspicion, punishment and social pessimism. Your recent “no” to the claim that society is irreversibly destroyed confirms that your politics is not merely permissive — it is defiantly hopeful.

Vs the UK

You often vote against the national mood: the UK backed tougher migration, foreign-prisoner removal and an ICE-style force, while you refused the security turn. Your sharpest tension is economic: you are instinctively collectivist on welfare and public provision, yet rejected the idea that the UK is a mixed economy rather than pure capitalism.

Your circle

Your Centre-Left circle is less uncompromising than you, with agreement only more often than not; MikeNolan is your clear ally, especially on housing and justice. Even there, defence divides you — a reminder that your internationalism and suspicion of militarised solutions run deeper than ordinary centre-left loyalty.

What's next

Your record is already unusually coherent, but the open question is whether public order or defence can ever temper your borderless egalitarianism. Ten more votes will earn a fresh read, and each one will sharpen the picture of the country you are determined to defend.

The Borderless Egalitarian

Who you are

You are a hard-left egalitarian in the fullest sense: welfare should protect people, rights should not depend on popularity, and immigration is not a moral scapegoat. You want a greener, more equal UK with affordable homes, universal public provision and solidarity extending beyond citizens; your sharpest instinct is to reject the welfare brake, whether aimed at claimants, migrants or disabled people.

How you've moved

You have moved from The Open-Door Egalitarian to something more ironclad: the same expansive convictions, now tested repeatedly against arguments about national decline, migration and “legitimacy”. You have not closed the door; you have reinforced it, refusing to let grooming gangs, benefit suspicion or demographic anxiety turn into a case for collective punishment.

Vs the UK

You often vote against the national grain, especially on migration, benefits and defence: you rejected lower net migration and extra defence spending while most of the UK backed both. The tension is revealing rather than accidental—you are internationalist on belonging, but unexpectedly willing to stand apart from a country that increasingly treats security as the organising priority.

Your circle

You are left of your Centre-Left circle, agreeing with it only a little more often than not. MikeNolan is your closest ally, especially on housing and rights, but even there you part ways on defence: your social egalitarianism is shared, your suspicion of militarisation is more personal.

What's next

Your next ten votes will test whether this remains a settled creed or develops a harder edge on security, public order and the limits of solidarity. Keep voting: the picture is already unusually clear, but every ballot sharpens the tension at its centre.

The Open-Door Egalitarian

Who you are

You are a hard-left egalitarian in the fullest sense: council-style housing, universal welfare, stronger unions, wealth taxes and public provision, paired with a genuinely open-door view of migration. You resist the punitive turn—benefit sanctions, prison charges, rearmament, drilling and tighter disability tests—but you are not a reflexive progressive: you opposed puberty blockers, assisted dying and nuclear expansion, and you distrust both political elites and digital control.

How you've moved

A while back, you were The Council House Builder: a housing-led leftist with a practical soft spot for pensioners and welfare protection. You have become The Open-Door Egalitarian—broader, harder and unmistakably internationalist, with immigration now alongside welfare and housing as a defining conviction.

Vs the UK

The nation often travels the other way, especially on gunboats, military power, benefit restrictions, drilling and nuclear energy; your instinct is solidarity where the UK frequently reaches for enforcement. Yet you are no permanent contrarian: you backed public ownership, safer streets and a wealth tax, while your refusal to treat every progressive cause as sacred gives your leftism an unusual independent edge.

Your circle

You sit well to the left of your Centre-Left circle, agreeing with it more often than not but refusing to be absorbed by it. MikeNolan is your closest ally—especially on housing and rights—though immigration is where even that partnership parts company.

What's next

Your open thread is whether this expansive egalitarianism can coexist with your instincts for caution on medicine, technology and institutional power; ten more votes will test it. The picture is already vivid, but every vote sharpens the profile and makes the next read truer.

The Council House Builder

Who you are

You're building a Britain where the state builds houses again — three separate votes for council homes and social housing funding, all fired in the same direction. Pair that with defending PIP from tightening and refusing the Falklands call to arms, and the throughline is a state that spends on its own people rather than on flag-planting.

Vs Britain

You sided with the country's majority on most of these votes, but on the two that mattered most to your worldview — Falklands force and PIP tightening — you broke hard against a nation that voted the other way, and by wide margins. That's not contrarianism for its own sake; it's a consistent instinct to protect the vulnerable over the assertive.

On your patch

No local data has come through yet — early days, so this section stays blank until your area starts voting alongside you.

Blind spots

You've never voted on immigration, justice, education or the economy — a striking gap for someone this decided on housing and welfare, and it means your left lean is really a housing-and-welfare lean dressed up as something broader.

What's next

Ten votes in, seven scored — this is a sketch, not a portrait. Cast a few votes on immigration or the economy and we'll know whether you're a consistent social democrat or a housing-and-welfare specialist with quieter views elsewhere — either way, next week's profile will be sharper than this one.
