How did they decide what counts as Centre-Right vs Far Right etc?
On the chart it says that they are assigned by DW-nominate, a system that places members of congress along the political spectrum based on how consistantly they vote together.  It doesn't rely on the content of the bills voted upon, just if congressmen voted with or against other congressmen.

This means that we can compare ideology across time since the terms of congressmen overlap.
