There are 2 wings in the spectrum: Left and Right. Left supports change, wants more social services, higher taxes, thinks the government should manage more of the economy and that criminals should be rehabilitated. A Centrist moderate (Centre) believes in tradition and change, that the government should play less of a role in peoples lives and the rights of individuals should be protected. A Right wing supports tradition and status quo, government limited role in economy, as in cutting government spending and involvement. They support business and free enterprise, believe in a balanced budget and harsh sentences on criminals. Communism is left wing, Socialism is between Communism and Liberalist, which is in the centre. Conservative is right wing and fascism is extreme right wing.
