  Right-wing politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In politics, right-wing, the political right, or simply the Right, are terms which refer, with no particular precision, to the segment of the political spectrum in opposition to left-wing politics.
The dominant modern strand of right wing thought is concerned with traditional values (often Christian in nature) and preservation of individual and corporate rights through constraints on government power.
A more obscure strand of right wing thought, often associated with the original right wing from the times of monarchy, supports the preservation of wealth and power in the hands that have traditionally held them, social stability, and national solidarity and ambition.

 Right Opposition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Right Opposition was the name given to the tendency made up of Nikolai Bukharin, Alexei Rykov and their supporters within the Soviet Union in the late 1920s.
This was because the right tendencies were usually not critical of the Comintern or of Stalin's regime but only of the leaderships of their own Communist parties.
The various right oppostional groups loosely aligned with Bukharin within the Comintern were forced to form their own organisations when they were, in their turn, purged from the national sections of the Comintern.

 Libya: News and Views - Letters
Therefore, our efforts in the opposition will be rewarded and would be a pioneer in introducing changes in the Bases of Government in Libya, and perhaps our opposition evolves to become a body of opposition and inspection to the Libyan government personnel since the regime does need plenty of criticism to encourage plenty of change.
Opposition should work within the country and we request the to protect its members and must allow them to work and criticize without any fear of imprisonment or torture.
Giving the elected opponents the right to comment and follow the government policy as well as the right to criticize the achievements and show its weakness or the benefits that come out of it and to expose bribes and favoritism and the administration corruption which is still in force up to now.

 The Opposition in a Parliamentary System (BP47e)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The role of the opposition in a parliamentary federation such as Canada’s is obviously different from that of congressional representatives in a pluralist federation like the United States, where legislators exercise considerably more independence and need not take their cue from the executive branch.
In addition to its practical value, the daily confrontation of government and "loyal" opposition in the House of Commons symbolizes the inner dialogue, the continual sequence of question and answer, which distinguishes the truly civilized mind and is reflected in the social and public life of a civil community.
The opposition’s right and duty, if it believes the public interest is at stake, is to oppose the government’s policies and actions by every legitimate parliamentary means.

 House of Commons Hansard Debates for 23 Jan 1989
Opposition Members recognise that, in 1974--certainly during their period of office--there was a need for specific anti-terrorist measures.
Opposition Members take the view that all is hunky-dory in the garden, that there is no need to do anything, that we can rely on the general criminal law, that we are just dealing with a group of rather horrible people, and that, somehow or other, sweetness and light will prevail.
Right until the sitting after dinner on Thursday evening, after the Government announced that they were introducing this motion, we had heard no suggestion--although there had been no agreement about a timetable--that time was being wasted.

Vindicated by their good showing, the opposition called for the government's resignation, claiming that they now had greater support than the centre-left on a national level.
He said recently that the choice now is not between the right and the left, but between "innovators and conservatives." It was D'Alema who led the moderate communists to break away from the communist party and form the Democrats of the Left, still the largest centre-left party.
The opposition repeatedly taunted D'Alema "as the most Communist of them all." Now they are calling Amato a "useful idiot," in reference to the label given to non-communists who allied themselves with the communists in the '50s.

 Max Shachtman: Struggle for the New Course (Chap.8)
The Right Wing represented the new proprietors – kulak and Nepman – and was the canal through which flowed the movement for the restoration of capitalism in Russia.
In the same article, he declared that “the elements of the Right flank who, whether they belong to the party or not, participate in the settling of all party questions, are characterized by their organic connection with the new proprietors.” And the Stalinist Center, with pseudo-leftist liner” “The Left maneuvers will not save Stalin’s policy.
But if by a basic swing to the Right is meant a return to the policy of capitulating to capitalistic elements in the country, of facilitating the restoration of capitalism (the policy followed between 1923 and 1928), Trotsky’s prediction was wrong and misleading.

The center-right opposition filed 2 million signatures November 4 on a petition for the referendum, but the TSJ ruled on November 28 that at least four of the five members of the National Electoral Council (CNE) had to support the referendum to schedule it.
Both proposals fall far short of the opposition’s demand for Chávez to step down immediately and be replaced by early elections in which he could not run.
Opposition leaders are now consulting informally with U.S. Democratic Party strategist James Carville to improve their public relations abroad.

 Altamira killings occurred at a terrible time   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
As the right-wing opposition is fully aware, this incident comes at a terrible time for the Venezuelan government.
This latest incident is not good for the government, but could backfire on the opposition as you can not fool all of the people, nor the international community all of the time.
Some of the opposition right-wing groups that make up "Coordinadora Democratica" (the organization behind the opposition demonstrations, strikes, etc,) seem to have decided that, through both the opposition demonstrators mobilization and the blockage of oil exports, they will trigger either a coup or a foreign intervention.

 "Bye-bye Aristide,Chavez you're next!": Venezuela: Right-wing opposition clamours for another US-backed coup
Unable to rely on a police force under the control of opposition politicians, the government has mobilised national guard and army troops, equipped with heavy armoured vehicles, tear gas and rubber bullets.
The opposition demands that the CNE instead verify the signatures by checking a “statistically sound random sample,” a proposal initially aired by the Organization of American States (OAS).
With the possibility that the recall may never see the light of day, another fraction of the opposition, the groupings associated with right-wing terrorist outfits, are itching to wreak havoc.

 Hughes: Reviews - Moscow Politics and the Rise of Stalin
The Opposition had a considerable base in Sokol’niki, an area that Merridale explains as containing a great concentration of government and state institutions, whilst at one stage it could count on 62 cells in the Krasnaya Presnaya district.
She points out that Uglanov was a rigid bureaucratic centraliser who used the apparatus to exclude the New Opposition from political life in the capital, whose chief representative was Kamenev – the author seems to have a softer spot for him than for other opposition leaders.
In her discussion of the activities of the Right Opposition, Merridale makes it abundantly clear that they were simply a conservative part of the apparatus.

 All-Ukrainian Civic Association "Successful Ukraine" - Program of Building of Successful Ukraine - full text
Right opposition looks poor in many relations: absence of powerful creative idea, lack of economic and political power, perverted, on my glance, idea to resolve all problems due to possible victory in presidential elections.
The right opposition, for its part, scares the power: in the event of victory promises the redistribution of property, attraction to responsibility, etc. Two scenarios of the development of situation in Ukraine within next 10-15 years looks most probable.
Right opposition could try to raise folk, but not many people ready to fight will be founded, all actions of right opposition will be peacefully suppressed.

 Down With Left and Right by Anthony Gregory
The reality is this: the confused secular blue state socialist types are just as capable of right-wing warfare, when they’re in power, as the confused religious red state conservative folks, who are in turn just as capable of welfarism when they’re the ones in power.
On the other hand, there are those on the Right who don’t mind the welfare state, so long as it accompanies empire; and there are those on the Left who don’t mind bombing a few countries and trashing the Fourth Amendment as long as the government also provides a free lunch.
Instead of recognizing the similarities between Left statism and Right statism, many of the good folks on the Left and Right end up choosing the statism that appears aesthetically less offensive to their senses.

The recent denial of the leader of the opposition to drive through the cantonment and her intended visit to the CMH to see the critically wounded Dr. Humayun Azad has no excuse, no matter what pretext the government propaganda machinery might have given out.
The leader of the opposition was also a PM for five years, in which capacity she had under her disposal, all our national secrets.
In line with all her earlier accusations that the opposition is killing its own people to destabilise the government, she has squarely pointed her finger towards the main opposition for the heinous attack on Dr. Azad, an ideological ally of the opposition and beacon for upholding the values of our war of liberation.

 Canada's Liberals retain power by exploiting popular opposition to right: Major class conflicts loom
While big business is pressing for a radical shift to the right, the bulk of Canadians, and above all the working class, oppose the dismantling of what remains of public and social services, the removal of all regulatory constraints on big business, and the curtailing of abortion and other democratic rights.
In opposition to the Alliance, the Liberals claimed to stand for tolerance and the preservation of the country's universal public health care system.
That the dominant sections of big business ultimately concluded that a government of unabashed reaction would be too risky does not for a moment mean they will lessen their pressure for a dramatic intensification of the assault on the social position of the working class.

Opponents of a push to strengthen Vermont's right-to-farm law say a changing the law could leave rural residents at the mercy of farms that pollute and create unwarranted noise.
The lawsuit eventually made its way to Vermont Supreme Court, which ruled that the state's right to farm law -- intended to protect farmers from nuisance lawsuits -- did not protect the Ochs.
In the wake of that decision, farmers, legislators and Gov. James Douglas' administration are eager to broaden the law to ensure it covers farmers as their operations change and grow.

 The Ayn Rand Institute: Reclaiming the "Right"
So it is logical that the "right" should stand for opposition to government controls and for the defense of individual freedom.
His chief opponent on the "far right," Gary Bauer, is less interested in economic freedom than in widening government power by bringing prayer into the schools, outlawing abortion and banning sexually explicit material.
The opposition between "right" and "left" ought to differentiate the two extremes of the political spectrum.

It appears from the reports available that the opposition was totally fenced off and prevented from staging protest and demonstrate by taking out processions beyond many fixed points, something that was their democratic right to do.
What is difficult to rationalise in an elective democracy is the excessively preemptive approach whereby opposition followers were prevented from emerging out of their party offices and come on to the streets.
The opposition cannot be denied its political rights of which the right to assemble and that to protest are but a few, and which must be allowed as long as it remains peaceful.

Sweden's ruling Social Democrats claimed victory in Sunday's election, as returns showed the centre-right opposition had failed to advance despite a surge in support for a party that raised immigration issues.
The election was a tight race between left and right-wing blocs tussling over the future of one of the world's biggest public sectors and welfare states and the taxes to pay for it.
Immigration was one of the election campaign's most hotly debated topics and besides taxation the area where the differences between left and right are clearest.
