Scaling speeches…
Where members sit on a latent axis derived purely from the words they use in their speeches (Wordfish scaling).
How much of the spread in positions is explained by party membership (η²): 100% = parties are perfectly separated, ~0% = party tells you nothing.
The words that most pull members towards each pole. The axis only means something once you read these. Its direction is arbitrary.

The axis direction is arbitrary: Wordfish finds the split, not which side is “left” or “right”. Read the word poles to see what each side means.
Positions are standardized, so the spread is a convention, not a real distance. Wider error bars (and hollow dots) mean less certainty, so don't over-read those members.
Speech style reflects role as much as ideology: committee chairs, ministers and frequent speakers can land at a pole because of what they do, not only what they believe.
