Yeah, in what scale is polarisation measured? How are identity or idea-based polarisation defined? Also, what's up with the awful kerning?
This should be a scatter plot.

Definition of concepts from abstract:
Political views, opinions, and worldviews become increasingly irreconcilable (idea-based polarization), while at the same time society appears to be getting fractured in antagonistic, opposing camps (identity-based polarization).
I'm not sure how it is actually measured. It is from the v-dem dataset. Is that questionaire data?
Thanks for the link
