The Skeptical Devolutionist

Who you are

You want power and money pulled out of London — into the regions, off the richest, away from Westminster's reflexes — but you're no romantic about it. You backed Burnham's model and shifting power from London, doubted the richest have their "fair share," yet you're just as quick to vote no on flood-defence privatisation and PIP cuts as you are to demand tougher sentencing for foreign offenders and reject a wind-and-solar planning overhaul. This is a redistributive, devolutionist Britain, built by someone who checks each policy rather than each label.

Vs Britain

You broke from the national majority on 17 of your 30 scored votes — including twice defending Farage against standards probes when most of the country wanted him investigated, and rejecting the UK's adoption apology when most said sorry was right. That's not contrarianism for its own sake; it's a habit of reading each question cold.

On your patch

Bristol Central is more uniformly left than you — unanimous on Gibraltar, Burnham, and wealth inequality — yet you split from your own neighbours on Farage, the apology, and even the wind-farm planning vote, where your area said no and you agreed, against the national grain together for once.

Blind spots

You've never voted on health, education, business or technology — odd gaps for someone this engaged on economy and welfare. Filling those in would tell us whether your left-leaning instincts hold when the subject turns to the NHS or the tax base that funds it.

What's next

This is a first read, and already there's a real shape to you — start filling in health and education and the picture sharpens fast, plus we'll be watching whether that hard-right energy stance stays a lonely outlier or becomes a pattern.
