Political Positions of Newspapers (Catch Up Work)

Socialist/Left Wing
Rights for workers and minorities are key. It is believed that the rich benefit from exploiting the poor and that the system should end with a revolution.
Liberal/Left of Centre
Pretty 'middle of the road'. They tend to offer the most unbiased, objective perspective. It is believed that it is important to represent people from all minority groups and countries.
Conservative/Right of Centre
Uphold traditional values about Britishness, class, gender, etc: anti Labour and Lib Dems.  They don't like Britain being part of the EU, wary of immigration and pro-capitalist.
Nationalist/Right Wing
Incredibly Patriotic. They dislike change and are highly supportive of traditional values; anti-abortion, anti-same-sex marriage and heavily opposed to immigration. They believe Britain should be Britain for white British people.
