You're not building an ideology, you're auditing one issue at a time — right on planning reform, business consultancy, the monarchy, defence spending on hardware, then sharply left the moment immigration or personnel questions come up. The Britain you're voting for is pragmatic and unglamorous: build the jets, fix the App, pay the teachers, but don't make migrants sit integration tests and don't let billionaires pretend their wealth is earned fairly.

You split almost exactly down the middle with the national mood — siding with the majority on half your votes and against it on the rest, which is rarer than it sounds; most voters lean one way consistently. Where you break hardest from Britain is immigration: the country backs tougher migration controls and integration tests by clear majorities, you reject both.

Sheffield Central mostly moves with you, not the other way round — on Burnham's ten-year plan, the Hybrid Navy, teachers' pay, you and your area are unanimous. But when you drift right — the monarchy, Gibraltar, billionaire wealth — your patch snaps hard left without you, a rare gap between a Corbyn-adjacent seat and its own resident.

You've cast zero votes on foreign policy, culture, employment or the environment — odd gaps for someone this engaged on defence and welfare, and worth filling before the picture claims to be complete.

This is an early sketch built on 34 scored votes — thin enough that the contradictions could still resolve into something sharper. Vote on the gaps, especially foreign policy and culture, and next week's read will start telling you something you don't already suspect about yourself.
