The Republican Realist

Who you are

You want a Britain that's economically hard-nosed — tighter welfare, stricter immigration integration tests, private finance for flood defence — but you want it built on a republican, written-constitution footing rather than the old settlement. You're right on the money and the border, left on the machinery of state: you'd rather rebuild the plumbing than defend the palace.

Vs Britain

You break from the national mood more than most — siding with the majority on barely a third of your votes. Where Britain voted 78% for tougher contractor penalties, you said no; where the country called Reform a danger, you said no again. You're not reflexively contrarian, just unmoved by consensus for its own sake.

On your patch

Liverpool Riverside is one of Labour's safest rooms in the country, yet you voted Labour is no threat to the Union while still wanting a written constitution and a 22% tax on cash and ISAs — your area agreed with you almost as often as it didn't, making you a genuine outlier in your own postcode, not just nationally.

Blind spots

You've never voted on health, transport, or technology policy — odd gaps for someone this opinionated on AI levies and Game Pass communism jokes. Governance and infrastructure sit untouched too, right next to a constitution you clearly care about.

What's next

This is an early sketch — 34 scored votes is enough to see the shape, not the whole man. Cast a few more on health or infrastructure and we'll know whether the constitutional radical or the economic hawk is really running the show — the picture sharpens every week you keep voting.
