Senate Votes (analysis)
House Votes

	Libertarian view; typically focusing on non-governmental solutions and private decision-making.
	Liberal or leftist view; typically focusing on helping needy members of society, and using government to achieve societal good.
	Populist or progressive view; typically focusing on local solutions instead of federal action, on decentralizing power, and on religion as the basis for societal good.
	Conservative or rightist view; typically focusing on fiscal frugality, strength abroad, and moral integrity.
	Centrist or mixed view; typically focusing on reforming or amending existing institutions rather than replacing them.
	No view; the candidate does not have a sufficient record on the issue to judge his stance.
	This scheme, known as the "Political Diamond", relies on an analysis in two dimensions, social and economic, rather than the typical one-dimensional right-left axis. A complete description can be found on the Self-Government web site.
