Is the new one a spin off or an original production?

What exactly is a right wing? And what do wings have to do with politics?

DanaC 04-09-2007 01:37 PM

*grins* spoken like a true duck:P

Right wing and left wing, are just ways of categorising which 'side' of the political divide you are on. The terminology comes from the French political system during the revolution. During the Estates General of 1789, the liberal deputies from the Third Estate sat on the left hand side of the president and the nobility, members of the Second Estate, sat to the right.

ooohh ok thank you for explaining that. I kept seeing those terms used but never knew what that meant. :)

DanaC 04-09-2007 03:14 PM

*smiles* the exact meaning differs a little from country to country. Generally speaking, in America the Democrats lean to the left and the Republicans lean to the right. In England, the Labour party lean to the left and the Conservatives lean to the right.

So who decides what stance on an issue is left leaning or right leaning?

pundits.

If you're asking seriously, I'll give you a serious answer. HM's right, as far as it applies. Any serious thinker looks past the wrapping paper to see what's inside. If it's shit, the wrapping doesn't change it.

Most of the punditry just want to sway the reader/viewer's opinion in their favor. This can be done by pulling the reader toward them by presenting it favorably, or by pushing the reader away from the position and associating it with the opposition. The label doesn't really matter. Read deeper.

I wasn't born with pre-programmed knowledge on how western politics work so when I ask a question about it of course I'm being serious. I have just recently become interested in the subject so I still do not know what certain terms mean or who stands for what.
I apologize if my stupid questions and opinions offend your vast intellect but thank you for answering.
