I don't think philosophical stance to statistics correlates very strongly to other political views. There are maybe some undercurrents regarding epistemology (Bayesians being relativists/antipositivists and frequentists being more positivist about "the truth") which maybe would be a slight left lean for Bayesians. And the father of frequentism/NHST was pretty HC right wing, but I don't think that means much either.
I'm more of a Bayesian in interpretation of statistics and epistemology, and I'm pretty far left. N=1 of course.
Neoliberalism refers to a social order and doesn't have much to do with probability and statistics.
