Howdy, I've never really studied the Median Voter Theorem. Recently I read where someone claimed that the U.S. political system was designed to keep the two parties nearly identical by keeping other parties out. I assumed that the reason they Dems & Reps seem so close may be because of the MVT--they want the middle guy's vote. So then I thought, suppose a third party were let into the race, does the MVT still hold w/ for 3 or more candidates? Does it weaken as more candidates are added, or do they all bunch toward the center for for any n>2, where n is the number of candidates? Does anybody know of a good discussion of it online?
