The term “political spectrum” refers to a system for classifying political ideologies and positions along a continuum, often ranging from liberal on the left to conservative on the right. This spectrum helps to visualize and understand political differences, governance styles, and policies within a society. Additionally, variations of the spectrum may include categories such as libertarianism, socialism, or authoritarianism, providing a more nuanced understanding of where political entities lie. This framework is often used in discussions, campaigns, and analyses of political landscapes.
