Romney-Clinton-Biden voter (would have voted for Bush and Obama ‘08 had she been a citizen).

[Alcibiades]

#FBPE Lib Dem. Might have considered Starmer's Labour before it became clear that Starmer's Labour is still left-wing on material issues.

That was actually my mother. You were pretty close - she has voted Lib Dem in at least the last four elections, although above all she is an anti-Tory voter (she has never voted for the party), and will vote Labour if she thinks they have the best chance of beating the Tories, and providing the candidate is not Momentum-backed/ a rabid Corbynite. As for #FBPE, she doesn’t have Twitter, and while she is very anti-Brexit, it is not to the exclusion of all other issues.

Probably a Groen-Links voter, or perhaps SP or PvdD.

I'm not sure I agree. Neopagan indicates left-leaning in a US context; in Europe, uh, not so much, although the combination of prep school+low family income muddies the picture somewhat.

Correct. This is based (with some extrapolations) on a real life person and her actual political views are very far-right to say the least.

Interesting. Can’t say I know any neo-pagans in real life.
