Issue Orientation. A simple left right
unidimensionality in issue positions was not found,
but only two dimensions accommodated eleven of the
thirteen issues, with 5.09 and 5.10 unrelated to
these two dimensions. The Marxism scale was

A subcluster of variables in the Marxism scale
deal specifically with economic items. These have
been formed into an economic leftism scale,
involving items 5.01 through 5.04.

Goal Orientation. To economize research
funds, coding was curtailed on 21 variables with
less than 30 percent of the parties scored. No
attempt was made to scale these variables according
to predictions about party strategies and tactics.
Remaining variables showed marginal support of
other expectations. The "social activities" scale
was formed a posteriari from these
variables:

Autonomy. The five items proposed to
measure autonamy failed to correlate as expected,
leading to a rejection of the "alternative
indicator" measurement model and a
reconceptualization as a "sufficient indicator"
model.
