A great overview of the two ideologies.

Meh. It has good elements of it but parts of it are grossly inaccurate.

It suggests we need both parties.

Terrible chart.  Has nothing to do with real life, and the policies supported by liberals and conservatives do not actually correlate with those character traits.  For example, leftists are currently fighting a war against the poor with their policies, but don't expect to find that in the chart.

An extremely simple-minded and antiquated representation of political ideologies

It's an overview.  representing popular opinions on the ideologies.  On that note, I find it accurate pinning popular beliefs.  Obviously there is a lot I disagree with.  

I find it interesting how much the left supports taxation and how much the right actually supports unmarried sex.
