fix: use CANONICAL_LEFT/RIGHT in compass PCA for consistency with SVD components tab

Previously the compass (political_axis.py) used hardcoded party sets that
excluded Volt and PvdD, while the SVD components tab (svd_labels.py) used
CANONICAL_LEFT/RIGHT which includes them. This caused inconsistencies in
axis orientation where Volt appeared most left on the compass but PvdD
appeared most left in the SVD components visualization.

Changes:
- Import CANONICAL_LEFT/RIGHT from config in political_axis.py
- Replace hardcoded party sets with CANONICAL_LEFT/RIGHT for axis orientation
- Update tests to match new SVD_THEMES labels

"""political_axis.py — Project MP SVD vectors onto an ideological axis.
Two modes:
1. PCA mode (default): compute the first principal component of all MP SVD
vectors for a window and project each MP onto it. The sign is arbitrary

2. Anchor mode: define the axis as the vector from the centroid of
``left_parties`` to the centroid of ``right_parties``. Project all MPs

Both modes return a dict mapping mp_name scalar score for the given window.
