That's what neoliberal basically means. Liberal on social policies, (i.e. they don't want to seem as bigoted towards any group of people), however on the economic & foreign policy front, they're quite to the right by liberal standards, (i.e. pro interventionist policy).

Really?

Again I see immigration as mostly economic and foreign policy so being left on that isn't a good start. Throw in the wage gap (an econ issue they are far left on) or their pro-eu stance (very left econ wise).

Are you saying they are neoliberal because they are out and out socialists or something? What kind of right wing economic policies do they support aside from free trade which is not really strictly right/left anymore.
