tejek,

Re: .this chart may be more appropriate for the English.

If you take the time to read about the methodology on the website, you'll discover that the professor who created the Political Compass went to great pains to make a tool that is universal and definitely not country specific. So, Peter is not right, and you're veering dangerously into the realm of being lulled by his ignorance.

Re: Tony Blair, Schroeder, Kerry and Bush are all on the right above the center line and are clumped near each other. I have to disagree with that assessment. I see considerable difference in their political POVs.

Without hearing you out, I have no idea what sort of differences you suggest. When I look at the chart: digitalronin.f2s.com
what I see is that there is considerable distance between Gerhard Schoeder and George Bush.

Perhaps you'd have a better understanding if you actually studied the methodology that Political Compass uses. It is quite clever, and uncannily accurate.

And yes, most major Democratic Party candidates in the U.S. are to the Right of center, in spite of the propaganda spewed by the corporate propagandists at Faux News.
