The correct answer is

right

The passage contrasts morality (concerned with right and wrong) with politics (driven by expediency). The blank completes "need not always be _____", describing what politics may fail to be despite being expedient.

Since morality is the standard of right, and politics follows expediency, it follows that politics need not always be right. "Wrong", "neutral" and "different" do not preserve the moral contrast set up by the passage.
