So as I said you have a problem with the methodolgy of the Political Compass. No one has claimed to be a libertarian, the Political Compass has assigned them this value based on their responses to questions. You contend that it has placed them too far down the Authoritarian/Libertarian axis but this cannot reflect any cognitive dissonance.
