The right/left is just the economic aspect Squiggle (BBBS was right)
The other is up/down scale is the social aspect...so for example:LL was slightly left of centre economically...but was conservative (small c) on the social chart...
I think it's correct to take the 2 aspects into consideration when discussing politics.
The purely left/right thing has shortcomings...it doesn't give the full picture.
