This is because any analysis of political opinion that tries to reduce it to a one dimensional metric is ipso facto wrong. Two dimensions gives you a much better match.

Just two dimensions? I'd be cautious of the personal freedom scale, since many groups aren't consistently in one place there. Certain groups assign priorities to some freedoms over others, as well as who those freedoms apply to, etc. --- No-frills sig.
