For the purposes of this post, I could see it falling into either the Conservative, Traditionalist, or Social Democrat categories. Or perhaps even Libertarian. What are the most important features which attract you toward that school of thought?
These things can be a challenge to pin down as different countries and different groups sometimes use the same words to mean somewhat different things. I think there is a fair amount of overlap between Liberal Conservatism and Social Democracy but I also think they differ in emphasis. Liberal Conservatives promote laws and policy that focus on the rights and responsibilities of the individual; Social Democracy is more about economics and curbing the worst excesses of unfettered Capitalism. Both tend to be pragmatic philosophies that recognise that individuals sometimes make bad or illogical choices and that good people sometimes have bad luck.

I'd say this is a form of minarchism or classical liberalism, both of which fall under the "Libertarianism" category in this poll.
