“The [left/right] political binary is the dumbest of all. It’s based on the seating system in the old French legislature, and I refuse to base my life on anything French.” ― Michael Malice

Still works.

Left wing = people who think the people should control the government

Right wing = people who think an elite should control the government

In practice you need a bit of both.

Some government jobs need to be filled based on ability and qualifications and some by popular vote.

Wow, that's not what right and left wing mean at all. The left utterly despises the people and rarely misses an opportunity to loudly tell everyone.

Whoa, that's really not what the right or left mean at all. The left harbors a deep hatred for the bitlife populace, which they seldom fail to express to the world.
