And don't get me started on political parties who are exactly the same in every dimension, except degree of racism or militarism.
On that chart the Radical/Conservative dimension should, at the very least, be broken into two dimensions for 'Socialist/Capitalist' and 'Nonconformist/Traditionalist'. The subsequent 3D context space would then allow us to separate political leanings this chart would converge.
That's my Battenberg Cake.

In other threads of this conversation we've joked about really needing higher-dimensional manifolds to chart human political opinions. But it's one of those jokes that's only funny because (a) it's true and (b) it's basically impossible to realistically implement.
A certain amount of math skill is required to visualize 4 or more dimensions. (I can manage four) And every time you add a dimension there are fewer people who can grok it.
But there are other kinds of charts.
