would move towards the left Explanation: - a variation on the previous answer "would" because English tends not to use the present tense when talking about the past "towards" indicating movement in a direction,but not implying arrival at a certain point |

peer agreement (net): +1will establish itself / distinguish itself / position itself Explanation: just some more possibilities -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-19 13:12:10 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- agree with Victoria about the conditional \'would\', but it depends on whether the text is lifted from a contemporary news report - in which case the government\'s policies would still be viewed in the real future |
