I should note that I actually believe that two or more dimensions are required to explain things, but their test is clearly not well suited to describing politics in modern democracies.

FWIW, I have been told that members of the Unofficial Phatbox BBS line up very neatly along a 215/135 degree axis, so, as always, the sample is they key, eh?

OK, more seriously, what kind of model do you have in your political skunkworks? How many dimensions *will* do the trick?
