You're not a tribal voter — you're a spreadsheet with a heart. Devolve power to Manchester and beyond, back proportional representation, cap political donations at £10k: you want a Britain where power and money get spread thinner. But you also voted no to the child benefit boost, no to solar subsidies, yes to farm subsidies "based on efficiency" — your left instincts run on welfare and governance, your right instincts run on economy and energy. This isn't confusion; it's a coherent belief that fairness means structures change, not that money simply flows.

You split almost exactly down the middle with the nation — agreeing on 16 of 30 recent votes — which sounds average until you notice where you diverge: you backed Burnham's "good growth" plan when 71% of Britain rejected it, and you called reindustrialisation too late when most of the country still hopes otherwise. You're not contrarian for sport; you're just less nostalgic about industrial revival than most.

Your area is a stronger devolutionist than you'd expect — 100% for regional power, 100% for PR — and you're right there with them. But you split from Grimsby and Cleethorpes on reindustrialisation (they're far gloomier than you) and on Thames Water, where your area leaned public control and you didn't.

You've never voted on education, culture or foreign policy — odd, given how confidently you've ruled on governance and welfare. For someone with "strongly left" convictions on the state's structure, staying silent on education is the one gap that undercuts the picture.

This is a first read, and already there's a shape worth returning to. Vote on education or foreign policy next and we'll see whether your realism holds — or whether it was always waiting for a topic to sharpen it.
