Default Re: Voting: a game theory look

[ QUOTE ]
What's the original incentive NOT to vote? So that no one votes, as a possibility. I didn't see that.

In economics or political science models the standard assumption is that voting is costly. For example, you have to go to the place. It takes time, and can actually cost money if you have to leave your job to do it, though this isn't usually the case.

I suspect it's some sort of protest nonsense in his case. Not voting has some protest value to him so by voting he would lose that.
