If this is intended as a question about existing political clusters, then I think you should merge the “Liberal” and “Socialist” options; I don’t think people see them as separate positions (at least in my country) in the same way as Conservative/Libertarian.
If this is really just a question about the left-right economic axis, then let’s make it one, viz:
“Which of the following most closely describes your position on economic freedom vs. wealth redistribution?”
Extreme economic liberal, e.g. US Libertarian Party: minimal/no taxes, no redistribution of wealth
Moderate economic liberal, e.g. US Republican Party or UK Tories: low taxes, low redistribution of wealth
Moderate economic progressive, e.g. US Democrats or UK Labour party: high taxes, high redistribution of wealth
Extreme economic progressive, e.g. (I don’t know, UK Lib Dem?): high taxes, major redistribution of wealth
I think you should merge the “Liberal” and “Socialist” options; I don’t think people see them as separate positions (at least in my country)
Here in France, “liberal” is a slur used by left-wingers against anybody suspected of liking the free market (there used to be right-wing politicians claiming that label, I haven’t seen any in the recent elections)
