The political right is a wide term which can refer to any politics from the centre-right to the far-right.

On the whole, those on the political right tend to favour a smaller state and lower taxes.

In some countries, it can also mean 'conservative' in terms of social freedom - this could mean promoting traditions such as marriage and family life, or opposing gay-marriage and abortion.

In historical terms, the right has also been associated with the military and various monarchies.

In general, somebody who is left stresses community relations over individualism. "Equality" is more important than "Independence". Also "Left" is known as being "liberal". The political party that is Left/Liberal in the modern day is the Democratic Party.
