What is the primary prediction of the median voter model? List the two key assumptions of the median voter model regarding the preferences of voters.

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER

The median voter model examines collective decision-making by majority rule and concludes that a majority rule voting system will select the outcome preferred by the median voter. The first key assumption of the median voter model is that voters are assumed to be able to place all possible election outcomes along a one-dimensional continuum. The second key assumption is that voters have single-peaked preferences. That is, they prefer outcomes closer to their preferred outcome to outcomes farther away from their preferred outcome.
