right but how do you mary economic conservatism with pro-liberalisation? I gave some examples are those off base, because I have no idea who Bojarski is.

it's true, there should be a strong correlation between liberalism in social and economic issues, but that doesn't mean that everybody follows that mantra. look at Ron Paul, he's an enormous proponent for a laissez-faire market but he's very liberal socially at the same time.

and no, there shouldn't be an equal distribution throughout the plot. inasmuch the same way as Democrats outnumber Republicans.
but even still, we're talking statistics here, and on a normal curve, you're going to have a normal distribution.

It should be relativly equal because while parties mean different things, and are package deals that win based on marketing strategies, political philosophy isn't, especially when its as disjointed at the questioning was here.

I'm still not coming to grips with what purple would look like in practicum.
