Most people don't match the conceptions of right, left or liberal on every unrelated issue. Personally, I am right of centre on some things, more left of centre or liberal on others, I think most people are. It is the the extremists on both sides that cause problems.
Just take the EU, I voted out but am not a fanatic. If the leaders would take more account of real differences in economy and culture, rather than try and impose their unrealistic ideals on us, I would have preferred to stay in. Look at Yugoslavia, that didn't work out too well did it?
Or immigration. I don't think most on the right of centre on that want a simplistic race-based system, we just want proper controls that protect the population and help us to build a high skill economy, not a massive influx of the low skilled that puts enormous pressures on resources in an already overpopulated country.
