→Is the denominator the total number of individuals in a population or the number of non-liberals?
I see people don't agree on the definition of this term. When I hear the term for the first time, I imagine the denominator is the total number of individuals, which is the sum of the number of non-liberals and the number of liberals. Otherwise I'd see it as a confusing term. --[[User:Pepsi-Cola|Pepsi-Cola]] 22:44, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

: The moderates add nothing to the mix. Including the moderates in the denominator results in the loss of information, as 1 liberal and 99 moderates is very different from 1 liberal and 99 conservatives.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 23:20, 26 June 2007 (EDT)
