One can be “right wing” with respect to business control and economic policy, whilst being “left wing” with respect to social policy. Some Liberal Parties can have policies that reflect that. Muldoon was perhaps an example of a “right wing” socially conservative politician who supported “left wing” state involvement in the economy.
