    I would say that actually we have no party representing the left. The Democrats are a kind of center right party on many major issues. But of course this all depends on your definitions.

      Neoliberals are hard-right, IMHO.

      Think about it: the whole point of privatisation, reducing regulation, small government and so on is to reduce the power of the one entity - the State - which is (supposedly) controlled voters via votes which are (supposedly) of equal weight for all, and make it be below the power of Money which is controlled by a “voting” system were some have literally trillions of times the weight in chosing what happens than others.

      In other words, Neoliberals are against Democracy, same as Fascists.
