9. Review
Political ideologies refer to a logical set of ideas that
contain an assessment of the present system and a
definite plan of action by which a better future can be
attained by society.
Political ideologies serve as framework through which
governments are established and laws and policies of a
country are created. Political leaders tend to decide on
pressing issues on the basis of their individual and
political party’s ideology. Hence, understanding the
direction and values of each political ideology relative to
their placement in the political spectrum is important.
