Left and right are political constructs whose meanings and functions need to be historically and contextually situated. Despite exerting similar functions such as liberal and conservative, left and right correspond to a distinct ideological divide. They do not necessarily cover the same issues and reflect the same priorities and platforms across times and political context; nor do they meet and express the same aspirations between people and within individuals across issues. They are effective in guiding and binding people political choices to the extent that they find a resonance in their personalities.
