Left and Right

"A good essay. The writer begins by explaining the hustorical differences in ideology between the left and the right, and then looks at how closely each of the parties lie to their traditional standings, and to each others. Specific actions by governments or opposition parties are referred to to highlight either changes in attitudes or confirmation of principles. The writer picks up on the key issue of pragmatism, and the growing role it has on the policy decisions and beliefs of both the left and the right; arguably it is responsible for the closing gap between the two ends of the spectrum. The writer then goes on to argue that the left-right is far too limited, and suggests an alternative two-dimensional system. In doing so, they show awareness of categorisation of issues into economic and social. In one or two places, it appears that text is missing, making it hard to understand what point the writer is trying to make. Apart from that, a fine effor. TSR user: Edenr."
