How settled are they? On the compass's up-down axis Labour's middle half runs from -0.67 to +0.49, the second tightest of the six parties we can measure. On left-right they are looser than the party furthest left, tighter than most. kiwivalues.nz/research/who-votes-la… 4/8 #nzpol #nz

Two charts, left-right position and authoritarian-libertarian position, with one row per party. The thick line is the middle half of that party's supporters, the thin line the 5th to 95th percentile. Labour is highlighted.
