Consequentialist in the sense that I work in the principle of least harm - I don't necessarily think that the ends justify the means.
Touch of Kantian imperative thrown in too - something may not have particularl consequences if only I do it, but if everyone does it, it would be chaos and the rules would break down. e.g. if I were driving a car and ran a red light because I could see there was no danger, that might be OK, but if everyone went around running red lights all the time, there'd be loads of accidents.
