Agendas and sincerity: a second response to Schwartz

摘要

An Ordeshook-Schwartz agenda tree requires a voting theorist to assign a unique "ostensive alternative" to each node, but under some non-pairwise agendas there is no evident principle by which to do this. Therefore Ordeshook-Schwartz sincere voting is not clearly defined under all types of agendas. Farquharson-style agenda trees sidestep this problem and allow one or more definitions of sincere voting under every type of agenda.
