And, I did miss that important detail.

It doesn't have to be an absolute scale of course, but then why show 4 countries where all seem to deviate from the center? Are these country graphs even comparable?

Yeah I agree, it's not a very good graph. I just get frustrated when people ridicule the US political system for everything. We have a lot to fix (like what's causing women to become more liberal), but I think we need to focus on what's actionable and reasonable to fix. We can't become +20 more liberal overnight.
