Changes

The legislature is infinitely sized and consists of individual legislators whose ideal points <math>z</math> are distributed uniformly over [-0.5,0.5] (z~<math>z\text\textasciitilde{}U[-0.5,0.5]</math>. Legislators preferences preferences are also negative quadratic. A legislator will choose policy x over policy y iff <math>b_{x}-\alpha(x-z)^{2}>b_{y}-\alpha(y-z)^{2}</math>, where <math>b_{x},b_{y}</math> refer to the amount of bribes offered for voting for position x or y, and z is the legislator's ideal point. The parameter <math>\alpha</math> represents the "intensity" of the legislator's preferences -- ie, how much he cares. One might alternatively think of <math>\alpha</math> as how much his constituents care.
