Figure 1 illustrates a situation of a unicameral legislature in which there is a median voter (MV) and a status quo policy (SQ) arrayed along a single left-right issue dimension that runs from 0 (most left) to 10 (most right) . The MV is assumed to have a single-peaked utility function and to vote for the policy that is located closest to her ideal point. Assume that a voter will vote for a new policy over the status quo if she is indifferent between them.
