The chart above gives an example of the position of the major political parties in the USA and Germany (which is probably similar to other European countries as well).

USA:
Democrats: Large blue circle.
Republicans: Large red circle.

Germany:
NPD = Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands = National Democratic Party of Germany = brown dot.
CDU = Christlich Demokratische Union = Christian Democratic Union = black dot (= CSU).
SPD = Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschland = Socialdemocratic Party of Germany = bright red dot.
FDP = Freie Demokratische Partei = Free Democratic Party = yellow dot.
Grüne = Die Grünen = The Greens = green dot.
Die Linke = Die Linke = The Left = dark red dot.

Notes:
The German parties might be all be a little too close towards the center; the chart I had had omitted the scale
NPD: Neo-nazis.
FDP: Accused of simply being the party of the bid companies, has only 1-2% in recent polls, might disappear soon.
Die Linke: Former communists. The goals the claim are definitely not communist, but people still are distrustful.
Piraten (=Pirates): Actually, they should be here as well, considering they are getting nearly 10% in recent polls. However, defining their political position is a bit difficult to begin with. It can be said for sure, however, that they are very far down on the vertical axis, and are more likely to be in the green area than in the violet one.
