A Historical Note

Why are Conservatives ‘Right-Wing’ and Liberals ‘Left-Wing’. It’s taken from the French. Ick. The left/right terminology in politics appeared during the French Revolution in 1789, as radicals would sit on the left-hand side of the President and moderates on the right-hand side. This practice continues in the French National Assembly to the present day. Kind of makes me what to change the terminology. Think we could get the Libs to agree to ‘Correct-Wing’ and ‘Wrong-Wing’?
