Its a big question, but I'll at at least try to make a start.Leftist political parties are characterised by socialist policies, such as universial health care, free education,businesses under more government regulation,more even distribution of wealth,less privatisation of essential services(electricity, water,etc) Plus they are on the left of the political spectrum which is the liberal side if they were on the far left of the political spectrum they would be considered radicals or extreme liberalist
If I'm correct, it comes from the meeting of the National Assembly during the French Revolution. Those with certain opinions sat in the same areas. The Liberals and Radicals sat on the left side, the Moderates sat in the middle, and the Conservatives and Reactionaries sat on the right side.
The political terms Left and Right came about during the French Revolution (1789-1799), referring to the seating arrangement in the Estates General.
Those who sat on the left generally opposed the monarchy and supported the revolution, while those on the right were supportive of the traditional institutions of the Old Regime.
