Parties announce their policies and, then, voters vote.
The strategic voting of citizens is described through coalition-proof behavior. In this paper, we propose an alternative setting that yields similar results but rests on purely individual behavior. In other words, it is possible to analyze this kind of voting game, without appealing to any coalitional argument. Specifically, the model we analyze is a two-stage game where the executive branch is elected first, and then the legislative. We first solve the subgame in which the result of the executive election is given.
