:@ It was just an edit summary, so I could hardly give a full explanation.  Of course the situation was more complex than as I described.  Nevertheless, my basis point stands; the IP user (was it you?) described the Whigs as left-wing, which is objectively not true.  The tenants of the left, even at the time left/right notions of politics was conceived, were clearly not those shared by the Whigs.  Of course they were more to the 'left' than the Tories, but certainly describing them in the infobox as left-wing just doesn't hold.
