Dear Dr Alaminos,
There is one way for you to find a partial answer to your question. If
you look at the following webaddress:

you will find the conventional right-left coding of some of the dutch
political parties, those represented in their parliament. It goes like
this - from left to right.

This is from the Eurobarometer 43.1 spring 1995. Unfortunately this
variable still is under embargo. What you can do is to turn to
Zentralarchiev, Cologne or to ICPSR and ask for an earlier issue of the
same Eurobarometer, the latest one where all embargoes are lifted. You
can through that dataset find out the latest known EMPIRICAL positions
based on sampled individual voters. In addition to this list of
political parties in Holland there is a question about right-left
position 1-10 in these barometers so you will have a possibility to
calculate an arithmetic mean for each group of voters.
Library Director Martha Peach at Instituto Juan March de estudios e
investigaciones Castello 77, 28006 Madrid is Official representative
for a Spanish national membership of ICPSR . She can probably also help
you further in this case.
