In america, the political 'wings' are called left and right based on their supposed fiscal and social priorities. Conservatives say that.. 1
they spend less, (not always true) and 'conserve' traditional values. Liberals say that they will spend more (not always true) and they 2
are in favor of raising taxes to provide more for the people. Its opposite when it comes to idividual liberty, where conservative are 3
killthebaddies
I think most of the world think of liberal as left and conservative right. That's certainly how it is in the UK.
The academic/historical meaning of Liberal is basically Libertarian/light. Personal liberty, low taxes, free markets.
TsubakiTragic
Def not in Australia. Left is the Labour Party and Greens, right is Liberal and Nation Party cunts. (not prejudiced)
Shadowkraftwerk
Portayed as: Australian Liberals = social & fiscal conservatives. Nationals = social conservative agrarian socialists. Often not true tho.

Does that make any sense in etymological way?

No, but a historical one. Originally the left/right terms comes from who sat where in the French pre-revolution parliament (18th century) 1/
