Why Positions Have an Area

A political position is not a fixed point: parties shift their course, programs are rewritten, coalitions change priorities. The area shows how narrowly a party can be defined — those who have often stood for election, have already governed, have existed for a long time, and reach many voters have a course that can be looked up, and occupy a small area. Broad and narrow are not the same: a party can be defined in economic matters and open in social ones.
