Neoliberal includes both Tony Blair on the left and Thatcher on the right. Trudeau sits between them in the (201X-202X) dead centre. Tony Blair was more right economically than the old guard of labour (who I would consider squarely left wing) but it was balanced out by his social and welfare policies. It’s just that pre WW1 the centre was to the right of now (classical liberalism) and post WW2 the centre was to the left of now (welfare statism). 200 years ago liberals were leftists and reactionaries were quite ordinary.
