The Sceptical Internationalist

Who you are

You want a Britain less trigger-happy abroad and more willing to remake itself at home — you'd rather rejoin the EU, back Scottish independence, and ditch FPTP than fund another defence bump. This is a worldview built on doubt about power: doubt that more weapons make us safer, doubt that Westminster's current shape deserves protecting.

Vs Britain

You're often out of step with the country: Britain backed NATO spending demands, war bonds, and hitting 3.5% of GDP on defence — you opposed all three. You split with the nation roughly half the time, but where you diverge, it's consistently on the same axis — you're the brake to Britain's rearmament instinct.

On your patch

There's no local data yet to set you against your own area — an open thread once your neighbours start voting alongside you.

Blind spots

Your convictions are sharp on defence, constitution and foreign policy, but you've said nothing yet on welfare, immigration, housing, health, justice or the economy — the domestic terrain where a "hard left" label usually gets its teeth. Right now you're a foreign-policy dove and constitutional radical with an untested domestic core.

What's next

Seven scored votes is a sketch, not a portrait — cast a few more on welfare or the economy and we'll see whether your instinct for restraint abroad matches an appetite for redistribution at home. This profile updates every time you vote, so come back and let it sharpen.
