Preston has a good start here but the better question may be, why does any political position have to be on an axis?  Why can it not be a variety of factors and ideas?  Why do we define a certain term a certain way?  Take Fiscal Conservative.  Does that mean just having a balanced budget, and if so why not higher taxation on certain aspects of society to achieve it?  That would not be traditionally fiscal conservatism since it balances the scales on the wrong side to many who ascribe to that philosophy.

The ideas should be more open than any consultant would ever agree to, because it is too complex to put a person in a box, which is what they get paid to do.  Imagine a pro-life/pro-choice person!  They agree with the right to choose but understand in their own personal circumstance they would not want to go down that path.  Poor political parties would be lost and have to have honest ideas, not talking points to get elected, it would collapse the current consultant system!
