The Welfare Skeptic Leftist

Who you are

You want a Britain that scraps the monarchy, distrusts the financial sector, and backs the NHS into new territory like school obesity programmes — but you also voted to keep the two-child benefit cap and strip VAT relief from Motability leases. This is the classic split of someone who believes in the state as builder, not as cushion: you'll nationalise utilities in spirit but you want claimants earning their keep.

Vs Britain

You split almost evenly with the national mood — siding with the majority on barely half these votes — which is rarer than it sounds; most people drift one way. You broke from the nation on cement procurement and the childcare extension, both times pulling right when Britain went left, and you went further left than most on utilities privatisation, where the country was already onside.

On your patch

Bournemouth East mostly walks alongside you — unanimous with you on the monarchy, defence spending, and Miliband-as-chancellor — but it snaps hard away on justice and devolution, where your solitary local votes sat at odds with your own choices. It's a thin sample, but your patch reads as more socially traditional than you on culture-war flashpoints, and more devolution-shy than you'd expect.

Blind spots

You've never voted on immigration, housing, or energy — three of the fights that will define the next decade — and for a voter this split on economics versus welfare, that's a real gap; those categories would likely sharpen or complicate the picture fast.

What's next

Fifteen scored votes is enough to see the shape of you, not yet enough to be sure of it — cast a few more, especially on immigration or housing, and we'll find out whether the welfare hawk or the economic leftist actually runs the show.
