Default Re: Voting: a game theory look

Definately an excellent analysis. I only disagree with this:[ QUOTE ]
Similar reasoning indicates that no candidate can win by 1 - anyone voting for the loser would rather not vote given what everyone else is doing.

[/ QUOTE ]
I think a certain percentage of the population would still vote for a loser even if they knew they would lose (ie, voting for a third party that has no chance), since voting, even for the loser, can alter future games.
