Oh - and there’s very little, if any, doubt as to what a lefty is.

I would disagree here. I would refer to the current Government as generally right wing based on the current & future policies. The term "right wing" is easily looked up as:
Quote:
Right-wing politics describes the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable, typically supporting this position based on natural law, economics, authority, property or tradition. Hierarchy and inequality may be seen as natural results of traditional social differences or competition in market economies

The term "leftie" is just self-referential e.g.
Quote:
a person who is on the political left

You would have to give some context to label a person, or more accurately, their view or views as left wing. Some people advocate left of centre views in some areas and centrist or even right of centre ones in others. In the real world, people are generally more nuanced in their world views.
