 Another thing that might be interesting would be a different voter
 distributions. For example, the population might be split into 2 
 opposing factions.
 
 I am not sure how that would be representabile on the graph.
 
 Maybe the voter always votes for his own faction even if 
 another candidate has higher utility. In effect, after calculating
 the utility based on distance, the voter multiplies the non-faction
 candidates' utility by p. If p is set to 0, then the society is totally
 polarised. Each candidate would be from one or other faction.
 
 Another option would be to have one axis of the gaussian have a 
 non-gaussian distribution.
