Are voters more likely to vote according to their conscience or act according to their conscience? How is voting for a candidate similar to cheering for a sports team? Prof. Geoffrey Brennan shares some insights from public choice theory. This video is an excerpt from a longer video on "Expressive Voting"- see the full video here: youtu.be/5qp7C2WQQMk.

"Expressive Voting" is one of five videos in a series exploring major concepts in public choice, and it's also part of a larger series of videos on topics taught in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) courses. See links to the rest of the series below. Videos in the series feature professors who teach in university PPE programs.
