I find representing political opinion across a single left/right dimension completely useless for real world opinions and frustratingly simplistic.
In fact I'm on record as calling the 'political compass' 'somewhat valid' because showing human political opinions across two dimensions is superior to a single dimension of left vs right. But, in truth, without yet more dimensions it remains overly reductionist.

What we need is a political Battenberg cake.
