The Welfare Realist

Who you are

You want a UK that's careful with money and unsentimental about welfare — you'd restrict PIP eligibility, back an emergency brake on welfare spending, and reject a wealth tax on cash and ISAs. That's a clear, disciplined instinct: the state should be lean where it spends and firm where it enforces. But you're not the caricature of a small-state hardliner — on deforestation rules, flood defence privatisation and electrification you keep breaking left, unwilling to let the market or the climate ledger run unchecked.

Vs the UK

You're mostly a majority voter — siding with the national mood on 18 of 22 votes, from keeping the NHS to distrusting a re-join. But your one real divergence is telling: you rejected accelerating electrification when most of the country backed it, the clearest sign that your Brexit-voting, welfare-brake instincts still outrank your environmental sympathies when they collide directly.

Your circle

You run with a Centre-Right crowd and mostly keep pace — agreeing on roughly six votes in ten. That's loyalty without lockstep: enough overlap to call them your people, enough daylight to suggest you're not just following the herd on welfare and Brexit.

What's next

Eleven scored votes is only the opening chapter — the tension between your welfare hawkishness and your environmental streak is the thread worth watching. Keep voting and this read will sharpen into something no dashboard could fake — a fresh cut lands every week.
