Experiment to see how people vote
http://phys.org/news/2014-06-voting-key-cooperation-future.html
This is a short read article, but interesting. A common notion is that people are selfish, so when they go to the polls, they will vote ONLY with the views/laws/etc. that agree with their beliefs or in some way benefit them. However, according to this experiment, people may be more generous/altruistic about voting on things. Perhaps if people educate themselves about politicians and the policies they stand for, we can come together and make better decisions at the ballots that will benefit all humanity, not just our own personal or secluded group needs.
