> Edit:To clarify. Isn't current Polish gov right wing? Such things only happen in PL :-) That a right wing gov. brings a new benefit and the left is up in arms (because it has no income applicability). Now 8 years later the left has kind of accepted it was a good idea, but in the beginning they were very much against it. This is why left/right wing don't always make sense in today's political climate. A radar/pizza chart (with the different categories - economic, social, ecological, etc.) is more appropriate than a slider but that doesn't provide for easy labels. A party can be right-wing, but pro-green stuff (renewables, decarbonisation, etc.) which isn't usually associated with right-wing politics. And of course populism makes it so that any party can implement policies which are widely accepted (such as giving money for children) regardless of (nominal) party colours.
