Of course, I wouldn't apply this model rigidly--it's about which party political programme people vote for, not their detailed political views. For many people, voting's a compromise of what they disagree with the least. :)
Oliver Schick-
Definitely. With current events I'm just struck more then ever at how weak some of these structures are.... to the point that I question it totally.
TBF I have also tried to brush up on some of their weird as fuck alt right (and some extreme left) sites/posts. And the thing that strikes me is that many seem to use these lables as tribal identifiers, rather than really believing chapter and verse.

Asides from the horse shoe / circle* I'd echo everything you said.
*I think the more you look at people's views on a range of policies the more you find they tend not to follow this traditional linear idea of political views. See Tories and farming subsidises, etc.
