I don't understand why question 1 doesn't impact the civil axis along with the economic axis, at least the way it's presently worded. It seems to indicate a dichotomy between oppression by corporations and oppression by governments, so shouldn't the "oppression by governments is worse" answer (i.e. disagree or strongly disagree) be correlated with a more liberty oriented value?
Also, this is perhaps more of a philosophical suggestion, but I think there should be more questions that impact two or more axes, especially in ways that run counter to the traditional left-right axis. A lot of the time, solutions in politics aren't so clear cut as to only have one effect (the EU question is a good example of this; automation yields progress but can exasperate income disparities between education levels by driving down the demand for low skilled workers, ect). Stuff like that I feel would yield more realistic results, because in real politics, when I side with a policy I support on one axis but oppose on another axis, it inherently decreases the totality of support I have for the second axis, since I'm willing to compromise it.
