I object to your one-dimensional framing of politics. At least go for a political compass-esque 2-dimensional approach.
It's sort of like that.
Far Right = agree with almost all conservative views
Right = agree with most
Center right = agree with some things on both sides but mostly right.
Center = generally equal left and right on issues
And rinse and repeat for the rest of the categories
That's not really what he meant. He's implying you should do something like the Political Compass, where both Right/Left alignment and Autocratic/Laissez-Faire are factored in. Or conversely, something that differentiates between economic and social issues.
As an example, many libertarians (small "l", not the Libertarian Party specifically, as it's mostly populated by nutcases and addicts) would classify as "fiscal conservative/social liberal" and skew more towards small government/less government control, which fits absolutely nowhere on the scale as you've listed it.
And that's just one of the simpler alternative ideologies. Some can be a lot more complex on the granular level.
I get what you're saying.
Well that's why there's an other category, lol. He can feel free to make a more complex poll.
