[u/Slu1n]

It's a cool idea but as a non-norwegian person it would have been helpful to at least have some insight on what topics are measured and what the rough political affiliation of these parties is.

[u/Arve → u/Slu1n]

This is a purely numerical analysis, and translating the 59 questions is a tad much work, and not a visualization, so I opted to keep it out here.

59 * 9 would be trying to visualize 531, most of which are not connected, and I honestly can't even think of a way to do that, given the mission of representing the actual differences between the parties.

[u/Magmagan → u/Arve]

Just labelling the parties would have gone such a long way. Highlighting strong agrees among a cluster of parties could be interesting

[u/Arve → u/Magmagan]

The parties are labelled around the perimeter of the chart.

Have you never read a plot similar to this before?

In the very first image, if you start at 3 o'clock, you'll find FrP (Progess party, most right-wing) agreeing with themselves. Move clockwise, read the perimeter, and you'll find H, Høyre, Conservatives, and so it moves around the circle, with every party labelled

[u/Lifestrider → u/Arve]

The labels are contextless abbreviations? You phrase your response in a defensive manner, but from you going into to detail, you clearly realize the problem.

[u/Arve → u/Lifestrider]

Explained somewhat in a different context, but to clarify: Norwegian is a very … wordy … language, so I chose to use the official short forms along the perimeter, and instead provide context in the mandatory OC comment, where I both explained the party names, including where they are on the political spectrum.

With a plurality of parties, and a more wordy language, this is different from, say, the US or UK, where there are "Democrats", "Republicans" or "Labour" and "Tory", and it can't really be simplified without hampering readability of each chart.

[u/Magmagan → u/Arve]

Add a key if you can't put the names directly on the axes. Having the data simply graphed and requiring an explanatory reddit comment isn't beautiful data. If this was posted in a norwegian sub it'd make more sense but as it is the graph simply doesn't stand on its own

Edit: do the parties have logos? Why not use those?
