A quick quiz to help you get your political bearings. All the better to lose them, perhaps?

The origins of the terms “left” and “right” can be traced back to the meetings of the French Estates-General in 1789 when the nobility took the place of honor on the King’s right, while the ordinary (and more revolutionary) members sat on his left.

This linear model is still in widespread use today. Broadly speaking, in the US the right-wing is associated with “conservative” political views, and the left-wing is associated with “liberal” political views.

For many well-known political figures, it’s easy to place them on the left/right model.
