They are against climate tax but accept climate change and subsidies to tackle it, support abortion and lgb rights, don't discuss trans rights, support UHC and the welfare state, are pro immigration but limited to the levels of housebuilding in the country. The similarity with Republicans is in defunding public broadcasting, cutting taxes and regulations along with some limited welfare cuts but even they believe in balancing the budget.
