the right


Explanation:
You may use "right-wing", "political right" or simply "the right", but never the plural "rights".

Explanation:
Just a note to the Asker's comment to question.

Alternate between using the "right wing" and "The right" (or "political right")в значении "Правые". Избегайте употребления во множественном числе, уже было указано что это неверно.

По-моему, просто "the right" должно решить все проблемы.

Удачи!
