The Formulation of Models of Party Competition

B. L. Meek

British Journal of Political Science, 1972, vol. 2, issue 1, 116-120

Abstract: In recent years a considerable amount of work has been done on spatial models of party competition.1 The usual approach has been to represent the position of a voter on a given issue or issues as a point in a space of one or more dimensions, the position of a party or candidate similarly, and then to try to build models based on the distribution of voter positions and the relative positions of voters and candidates, using various criteria for party goals and strategy – e.g. maximizing votes, or maximizing plurality.
