If so, which is which and justify your answerExplanation / Answer
It doesn't make any sense to label the variables as response or explanatory. I require the dependent and independent variable in case of regression and correlation analysis. Here the data is categorical. both are variables are measured on nominal scale of measurement. as per the above given scenario it is required to check for independence of political ideology and their response.
I use Chi square test of Independence to check this hypothesis. Consider the null hypothesis that political ideology and their response is independent of each other. this is tested against an alternative hypothesis that political ideology and their response is not independent of each other.
I can see that there is no requirement to categorise these variables as a response or explanatory.
