The analysis assumes that government has the power to set agendas that are straight lines in the space of issues, and that voters choose majority voting equilibria, given these agendas. Government knows individual preferences, and with this knowledge it tailors the agendas so as to maximize the total levels of expenditure of the resulting majority voting equilibria. The process repeats itself, there may be a new agenda and a new vote every year (or whatever period is used), and the process may go on forever. The important results are:
