The Pensioner Traditionalist

Who you are

Seven scored votes in, you read like a settled Home Counties conservatism with a soft edge: tighten PIP, keep the Falklands British, don't build on farmland — but also let pensioners downsize without Stamp Duty punishing them for it. This is a Britain that rewards thrift and self-reliance, defends its own turf, and still finds room for a free vaccine for teenagers.

Vs Britain

You sit with the crowd more often than against it — nine of your ten recent votes landed on the side that won nationally, including the near-unanimous backing for retaking the Falklands and abolishing Stamp Duty for downsizing pensioners. Your one real breach with your own instincts was voting for council housing expansion, a clearly left-leaning position the nation backed by a wide margin too — proof you're pragmatic about bricks and mortar even when it cuts against your general grain.

On your patch

No local figures have come through yet for your area, so this comparison waits — an open thread rather than a gap in the story.

Blind spots

You've never voted on immigration, the economy, education, or justice — the classic dividing lines of British politics — which leaves this profile confident about housing and welfare but genuinely silent on the rest.

What's next

This is early days — seven scored votes sketch a shape, not yet a settled identity. Cast a few more, especially on the economy or immigration, and next week's read will sharpen from a sketch into a portrait.
