The Political Compass

My friend Roshan Godaliyadda told me about the political compass, probably the most successful political mapping I've ever seen.

Although I felt a scrutiny on Rightist policies is noticeably higher compared to Leftist policies.


My friend Nuwan Subasingha did a wonderful job in his blog post on the political compass. Most valuable piece work he has done is the mapping of a wide range of popular politicians to the map.
