The Welfare Realist

Who you are

You want a Britain that reins in finance and shields industry — you think the "financial sector has too much control" over the economy and you'd rather see subsidy go to graft than to efficiency scores. But you don't extend that generosity to the benefits system: you kept the two-child cap, opposed scrapping the housing benefit cliff-edge, and backed a Motability VAT change most of the left would resist. This isn't confusion — it's a clear line between what you think the state owes industry and what it owes individuals.

Vs Britain

You split almost evenly with the national mood — siding with the majority on exactly half the votes with data — which marks you as neither a contrarian nor a crowd-follower, just someone voting each question on its own terms rather than a tribe's.

On your patch

Stoke-on-Trent Central agrees with you far more often than the country does, especially on English devolution and on Gibraltar's Schengen deal — though your area split hard against you on utilities privatisation and British cement, small pockets of local disagreement worth noticing.

Blind spots

Fourteen votes and you've never touched immigration, health, justice, or housing policy proper — a wide, unmarked stretch for someone whose welfare instincts are this pronounced. That's the next place your profile needs filling in.

What's next

Nine scored votes is early days — enough to see the welfare/economy split forming, not enough to call it fixed. Vote on housing or immigration next and this profile will start telling you things you don't yet know about yourself.
