Following Their Leaders

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Models of democratic decision-making tend to assume that voters have preferences, and that candidates conform to those preferences. In reality, voters adopt the policies of those political elites - they follow their leaders. Policies are designed by the elite and the masses have little influence over them.
