The political spectrum doesn't have just one dimension. There are plenty of political spectrum charts. I personally like the Pournelle Axes, tho it fails to capture how opinions evolve and relate over time. The Inglehart Values Map has good points too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_spectru...

Neutron scattering at the NCNR allowed the team ...
