You want a Britain that defends itself, builds things, and still catches people when they fall — hawkish on defence and housing, protective on industry, but unwilling to let welfare cuts or benefit caps do the catching-people-falling part on the cheap. Your hardest convictions — defence spending, housing supply, backing the Global Combat Air Programme and steel quotas — sit right of centre, but you break sharply left on the two-child cap, Thames Water, and the welfare emergency brake. This is a worldview built on national capacity, not small-state purity.

You're a genuine outlier here — siding with the national majority on barely a third of your votes. When the country said yes to reforming ZEV mandates or reindustrialising doubts, you went the other way; when it doubted Reform or the Green Party as "dangers," you shrugged them off too. You're not contrarian for its own sake, though — on defence spending to meet "the Moscow test," you were with the overwhelming national consensus.

Brigg and Immingham is where you actually belong — you matched your area on almost every vote, from backing Andy Burnham over Starmer to federalism to the AI research labs. Your one real friction with home came on personal independence payments, where you leaned tougher than your neighbours did.

You've never voted on crime, justice, immigration beyond one vote, or foreign policy proper — for someone this instinctively protective on industry and defence, that's a striking gap in an otherwise decided profile.

This is early days — 28 scored votes is a real start, not the full picture. Vote on justice or foreign policy next and watch this sharpen into something unmistakably yours; every vote you cast makes next week's read truer than this one.
