Morphology
The meaning 'a person's set of beliefs about politics' is directly compositional from 'political' (relating to politics) + 'orientation' (a prevailing attitude), so learners who know both words can infer the MWE meaning. The adjective+noun structure is regular and has clear cross-linguistic equivalents, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Political orientation uses orientation, which means 'direction' or 'position', so imagine a compass pointing left or right. That's why the phrase describes the set of political beliefs that show a person's 'position' in politics.
