right-wing
Favoring traditional values
Right-wing describes political positions that favor tradition, established institutions, and limited government intervention in economics.
The term comes from seating arrangements in the French National Assembly, where conservatives sat to the president's right.
Right-wing politics typically emphasizes free markets, national identity, and social hierarchy: right-wing talk radio, a right-wing coalition.
The noun right wing and the label right-winger follow the same pattern.
At the extreme, right-wing shades into authoritarianism or fascism.
