The European Social Survey and the World Value Survey - The Left Right Divide

People can place themselves on a spectrum. And check this out in any given nation. Or if you take the scores and average them out globally, self placement on the ten point left right scale forms a normal distribution. This is significant because anybody who is trying to achieve meaningful socio political outcomes knows that simply achieving victory for one side over another side is pretty meaningless. If the left right divides aboma versus mc cane or clinton versus trump, it's still just ha choice between the rhetoric we prefer as we race toward global annihilation. But responses to the world value survey tell us that a continuum of political beliefs is an innate human condition.
