right-leaning
Tilting toward tradition
Right-leaning describes political views or tendencies that incline toward conservatism without being firmly committed to it.
The spatial metaphor places left and right on a political spectrum, with right-leaning suggesting a tilt rather than a fixed position: a right-leaning newspaper, right-leaning voters who might cross party lines.
The term often appears in journalism as a supposedly neutral way to characterize political orientation.
