I, for instance, am a socialist democrat. If you a answer other or a mixture, please explain your beliefs below. I am sorry in advance if I missed a major political stand-point. Also, forgive my spelling.

I'm an individualist and don't subscribe to a particular political philosophy as being inherently "superior" to any others.

I'm not in any particular "camp" politically because too many of them in my opinion take things to extremes or have a tendency to overlook the practical and humane principals due to their ideology. Hence, my politics are all over the place and depend on many things.

I tend to go more for the nationalistic / progressive combined with democracy / socialism on most developing countries although it does depend on that particular countries history, geo, etc etc etc. Basically all over the place, it's very individual.

For developed countries, it's more complicated. They could use a good dose of responsibility to start with though, and you can add some common sense with it. Again, very individual.

I put down socialist, but I'm better described as an ecosocialist. Just in case the name doesn't make it obvious, that means I combine environmentalism with socialism. Most ecosocialists, myself included, tend towards a brand of libertarian socialism (no, that is not an oxy-moron, look up Noam Chomsky). However, I do feel that a central government is necessary for certain things, such as maintaining the transit system, a national police force, a Supreme Court, and some of the other big things which I don't think could be handled only by local governments or cooperatives.

On the social front, I'm progressive/liberal, but I'm considerably more moderate socially than fiscally. I support immigration, gay rights, a woman's right to abortion and contraceptives, secularism, etc. I am vehemently against illicit drug use however.

seems to me there was one hardcore right winger, one libertarian, one all-over-the-map and a few non-voters.

Leftish egalitarian - probably some mix of Fabian socialism watered down with liberalism, i.e. social democracy. Supportive of Saxon style Co-Determination, the cooperative sector, and a plethora of social welfare measures.
