You requirement that it has to map from zero to infinity is kind of arbitrary, because you can map any function over an infinite domain to the [zero,infinity] domain. Basic math. No need to invoke Lord Kelvin. Lol. Was it you who complained about ''elemntary proof'', or was it your alter ego?

My alternative definition for populations is either:
+
My alternative definition for liberal bias is either:
 
* '''Liberals/Population''', the obvious choice. Ranges from 0 to 1. Choose an suitable transformation, such as x-> tan(x*pi/2) if you want it to range over [zero,infinity]. Or take the negative logarithm of (1-Liberals/Population), to whatever base you like. Would make it behave like pH, or scale of Richter

* '''Liberals/(Population-Liberal)''', the second obvious choice. Maps naturally from zero to infinity.
