Legislators have ideal points: <math>z \backsim U \left [ - \frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2} \right ]</math> with the median legislator's ideal point denoted <math>\, z_m = 0</math>.
The utility function of legislators is additively-seperable with a term representing their constituent's preferences and a term for the resources provided to them by the client:  <math>U \left( w , z \right ) = -\alpha(w-z) + r_w, \quad \alpha>0</math> where <math>\, \alpha</math> represents the intensity of preferences.
The Interest seeks <math>x > 0,\quad x \ge y</math> where <math>\, y</math> is the status quo and the Agenda is <math>\, A=\{x,y\}</math>.
