You want a Britain that keeps its money close and its obligations narrow — no to scrapping the two-child cap, no to UBI, no to VAT relief expansions, yes to cutting planning delays and backing British cement. This is the classic retired Essex-coast instinct: government should do less, cost less, and stop rewarding what you see as dependency.

You split almost evenly with the national mood — siding with the majority on barely half your votes — which sounds moderate until you see why: on welfare and economy you're unanimously to the right of where Britain lands, but you also broke left backing devolution to regional mayors and demanding Israel free the Gaza hospital director, votes most of your own camp wouldn't touch. That's not fence-sitting; it's a firm economic right-winger who won't be filed neatly.

Clacton mostly moves with you — unanimous against the mansion tax, unanimous for devolving power, unanimous for the defence spending bump — your area is your natural home turf, agreeing with you far more often than the country at large does.

You've never voted on immigration, crime, justice or culture — extraordinary for a Clacton voter, given what those issues mean locally, and it leaves the sharpest edges of your politics unread.

Seventeen scored votes is a real foundation but not yet the full picture — cast a few more on immigration or justice and this profile stops guessing and starts telling you something you didn't already know. Every vote you make sharpens it; we'll have a fresh read waiting next week.
