wo of the candidates-Manuel and Poornima-are currently viewed as right of the median voter, and Shen is viewed as left of the median voter. Which of the following will most likely be the outcome of the election? It is impossible to predict which candidate is most likely to win at this point. Manuel is most likely to win because he is closer to the extreme right. Shen is most likely to win because conservative voters (to the right of the distribution) who cannot decide on voting for Manuel or Poornima will choose to vote for Shen. Shen is most likely to win because all the voters to the left of the median will vote for him.

READ CAREFULLY You are to pick two out of the seven political philosophers we have discussed in class, and explain regarding one of them why you most favor how this philosopher has laid out his way of seeing the world, and how he explained how best to organize society and government. Then regarding the second political philosopher, explain why you most disfavor how this philosopher has laid out his way of seeing the world, and how he explained how best to organize society and government.
