Rational Choice Approaches  Anthony Downs (1957): An Economic Theory of Democracy  Citizens are rational and they vote on the basis of a calculation of which party is most likely to satisfy their own self-interested preferences  Parties are like business competing for customers in the market place. They try to locate themselves and their policies close to the median voter.  Median voter is in the middle of the distribution with equal numbers of voters to the left and right and is therefore a typical, middle-of-the voter.
