The set of possible outcomes in the process of government formation is then calculated on the basis of both the fuzzy Pareto set and the fuzzy maximal set, and the predictions are compared with those made by two conventional approaches as well as with the government that was actually formed.

Moreover, the median voter theorem is shown to hold under strict fuzzy preferences but not under weak fuzzy preferences.
