    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.
    The response to corona is an interesting case.
    Some have called for business subsidies (right wing mainly)
    Others for consumer subsidies.

    What is that considered to be? In the first case businesses are paid to produce nothing, rather than have it based on consumer demands.
