How does that site locates the origin (0,0)?
Shouldn't the origin be the center of mass of the position of all people or something?
I sort of doubt that the average opinion of all people, or at least a representative subset, is between "Die Grünen" and "Die Linke".
They have a bit on that kind of thing on the site ... iirc ... lemme see if I can find it for you... alas, no, failed to find from skim reading its menus and https://politicalcompass.org/about , https://politicalcompass.org/faq , and other pages... I was sure they had a bit about where their center was, along with how their statements are weighted in the test, and how worded, and why they don't change it.
Also, measuring it by a popularity bellcurve would reduce its meaningfulness and utility. It'd make weather-vanes of far more of us, leaving fewer sign posts.
Idk but the political compass is generally not a good model for understanding politics anyway.
