The political analysts and politicians divide politics into left wing and right wing politics, often also using the idea of center politics as a middle path of policy between the right and left.
The meaning of left-wing and right-wing varies considerably between different countries and at different times, but broadly speaking, it can be said that the right wing is linked to moral and social conservatism, law and order, and religion, while the left wing is linked with redistribution of wealth and resources towards the poorer and disadvantaged sections of society and secularism. The right wing is more often linked to the idea of social equity, and the left wing to the idea of social equality. |
