| | Left-wing politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term originates from the French Revolution, when liberal deputies from the Third Estate generally sat to the left of the president's chair, a habit which began in the Estates General of 1789. | | | There has also been some controversy over the Left's use of the Palestine issue in an anti-war context. | | | The nobility, members of the Second Estate, generally sat to the right. |
