- Social LibertarianismPuts personal and civil liberty first while accepting that some public provision is needed so that everyone has a real chance to use that freedom.
- Christian DemocracyApplies Christian values to politics: a market economy with a strong welfare state, an emphasis on family and community, and a socially conservative outlook.
- CentrismAvoids committing to the left or the right. Centrists judge policies case by case, look for compromise and are wary of radical change in any direction.
