It sounds like you’d want at least a 5 dimensional space to locate someone politically. (I came out a lot less left when I was allowed to say ‘no opinion’, which indicates that my leftiness is largely in things I’m not educated about :-)

But views on whether climate change is happening may be more to do with a persons trust for authority figures, or their education level rather than directly stemming from the political beliefs. You don’t want to be able to define all of a persons views in terms of a few figures.

What I’d like to see is a heat map on any of these things so you could see where the majority of the population were. Comparing that with where the political parties are could be instructive.

One thing that interests me about this compass is that it is supposed to give new political groupings but doesn’t discuss a person’s attitude toward risk, the future and environmental issues. I think attitudes in these areas can produce different results.

Bjorn Llomberg might call himself a social democratic economist (I have my doubts) but thinks it wouldn’t be right to spend money on mitigating Climate Change because of the way he views the future. Nicholas Stern might be more likely to be a neo-liberal economist who thinks early mitigation of Climate Change is important because of the way he looks at risk.
