Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain right-wing politics neutrally: describe positions and their variety, attribute classifications of parties or movements to named sources, and distinguish lawful political positions from extremism as defined by official bodies.

A broad political orientation that varies by country and era, commonly associated with support for tradition, social hierarchy or order, free markets, national identity or religion, and ranging from the centre-right to the far-right; how parties and movements are placed on the spectrum is often contested and should be attributed to sources.

What it is for: Understanding political ideas, parties and debates.

It can be explain what right-wing means in a given context; describe the range from centre-right to far-right with sources; attribute classifications of parties to researchers or official bodies; find voter information and party manifestos.
