I think one would find most people identify themselves by particular positions, and not by political affiliation or perceived positions on the political compass. Which of course makes public choice theory more applicable.

It also assumes that people can be easily broken down into identifiable groups which I think is most likely a quantitative sham that doesn't really tell us much about the wide and complex variety of choices that each individual faces.
