THE SAFETY-NET ENFORCER

Who you are

You want a Britain that punishes hard and polices harder — death penalty for the worst crimes, zero tolerance for false accusations, the Scottish Parliament axed if it gets in the way — while quietly insisting the safety net catches everyone underneath it, immigrants included.

How you've moved

Last time you were the Guarded Leveller, a defence-first realist splitting the wallet fairer; you're still that voter, only more so — Defence and Justice have hardened to unanimous and strongly right, while your left turn on immigrant benefit eligibility and PIP overhaul shows the "fair-shares" instinct isn't softening, it's spreading into new ground.

Vs the UK

You're rarely an outlier — siding with the national majority on three in four recent votes, from nuclear power to the bus fare cap — but where you break, you break hard right: axing Holyrood and opposing a wealth tax against a country that mostly wanted both.

Your circle

You run with a centre-left crowd and agree with them a modest six times in ten; AbiA is your true ally, lockstep on welfare and defence, splitting only on justice, while Enny tests you hardest on rights and housing — the same fault line that makes you a hawk your own circle can't quite claim.

What's next

This read sharpens with every vote you cast — keep an eye on where Rights and Immigration pull you next, because that's the seam that could finally decide whether you're the circle's outlier or its conscience. Vote on, and I'll have a truer version of you next week.

The Guarded Leveller — a defence-first realist who still wants the money split fairer

Who you are

You're a man who votes like two different people share a login: whole-life sentences, GLA abolition, scepticism of NHS overhaul-by-import — that's the instinct for order and control. Then you turn round and back public ownership of utilities, oppose the wealth-tax-for-income-tax swap from the right flank, and worry aloud that right-wing media ownership "influences British politics too much." You're not confused — you're a patriot who thinks the state should be strong on security and fair on money, not strong on money and weak on everyone else.

How you've moved

Last time you were "The Fair-Shares Hawk" — tough on defence and identity, redistributive on money. Nothing has cracked that pairing since; if anything it's sharpened, with fresh right-leaning votes on sentencing, housing rules and devolution stacking neatly alongside your continued economic left turn. You're not drifting — you're consolidating.

Vs Britain

You split almost exactly down the middle with the country, agreeing on 9 of your last 15 scored votes — you're with the huge majority on whole-life sentences and utility ownership, but you break from a landslide national "yes" on the wealth tax and on mandatory solar in new homes, where your instinct for lighter regulation puts you well outside the room.

Your circle

Your circle leans centre-left and you only match them just over half the time — closer to a coin flip than a tribe. Angel is your genuine ally, in step with you most of the time; AmitShah is your regular clash, agreeing with you barely two times in five, which tells you your security instincts and your redistributive streak don't map neatly onto anyone else's politics but your own.

What's next

This is still an early sketch — nineteen scored votes is enough to see the shape, not the whole animal. Keep voting and the picture sharpens by the morning: next up, watch whether your rights and immigration votes pull the hawk further right or complicate the fair-shares instinct underneath it.

The Fair-Shares Hawk

Who you are

You want a Britain that spends big on defence, keeps its institutions accountable to ordinary English identity, and yet doesn't flinch from taxing the comfortable — you backed the extra £15bn for the forces and kept the higher-rate tax threshold frozen in the same breath. It's a country that's armoured on the outside, fairer on the inside.

Vs Britain

You mostly ride with the crowd — seven of your ten votes landed with the national majority, including the emphatic yes on defence spending and no to pride-month deployments. But you break rank on the two-child benefit cap and the tax threshold, both times pulling left of a nation that voted the other way, which is the real signature buried in an otherwise mainstream record.

On your patch

Headingley and Leeds Central mostly agree with you loudly — unanimous on the monarchy, on inequality, on Thatcher's regional toll — but your area actually voted no on the benefit cap and the tax threshold shift where you also voted no, so on economics you and your neighbours are, unusually, in lockstep even against the country.

Blind spots

Nine scored votes across just three real categories is a thin foundation — you've never voted on immigration, housing, health, or justice, the very fault lines that would tell us whether your right-leaning instincts on identity travel into the rest of the culture-war terrain.

What's next

This is early days — a sketch, not a portrait. Cast a few votes on immigration or justice and the picture sharpens fast; every ballot you finish tonight rewrites tomorrow's read into something truer.
