[EM] Elections Results theory

[Narins, Josh]

First off, the typo, I said 'just to the _right_ of the mode' when I meant
'just _outside_ the mode' (when viewed from the center).

Second, this is the best way to move the party away from the center, not any
other aim.

Completely untestable, I suspect, and a possibly dangerous theory.

Hypothetically (and really) a Deliberative Assembly exists within a two
party system, where the members form two evenly split camps, but whose
actual positions can be mapped to a one-dimensional space continuum.

Hypothetically, the two parties are vaguely normally distributed across the
spectrum (a center and two wings, so to speak).

The rational choice for _leader_ of each wing would be one position to the
right of the mode of a reasonably distributed group.

Kinda like the crest of a wave.

I guess I go to http://voteview.uh.edu <http://voteview.uh.edu>  too much,
and make too much of all the images.
