Abstract
We study the competition between two political parties for seats in a parliament.The parliament will set two types of policies: ideological and non-ideological.The parties have fixed positions on the ideological issues, but choose their non-ideological platforms to attract voters and campaign contributions.In this context, we ask: Flow do the equilibrium contributions from special interest groups influence the platforms of the parties?We show that each party is induced to behave as if it were maximizing a weighted sum of the aggregate welfares of infonried voters and members of special interest groups.The party that is expected to win a majority of seats caters more to the special interests.
