A word for a selfish vote.

I’m looking for a word which describes an individual voting in a selfish way.

If someone say ‘I voted because the policy would work for me, I know it wouldn’t work for the wider community’, how would he/she justify it?

On a philosophical viewpoint from a philosophical

perspective view: Ethical egoists are the normative ethical position that moral agents ought to act as intelligent agents. What is the

basic stance and philosophy of individualism?

Individualists promote the exercise of one’s goals and desires and so value independence and self-reliance, and advocate that interests of the individual should achieve precedence over the state or a social group, while opposing external interference upon one’s own interests by society or institutions such as the government. Idealism is often defined in contrast to totalitarianism, collectivism and more

Can I find the word “perfect” really?

What was most of this “selfish, self orientated vote”? Example sentence: “65 per cent of voters reported voting in their own self-interest in the recent election.”

My dislike of self-interested is that it has slightly less of a value judgement than “selfish” – though if you want the positive value judgement, “selfish” may be the best word on account of past experiences or my personal experience (including doing a job interview, for example)

I understand this is all about the politics, but I also understand the argument that everyone takes his vote in his own interest. If everyone votes in his, then is it the general welfare? If no one has any interest in vote, it’s not clear that the result of the election will be

in anyone else’s interest.

Think self-serving: Serving

one’s own interests, especially without concern for the needs or interests of others.

During

this botched free-for-all, an aborted attempt to create new Senate districts, and the outcome wasn’t good for Lake County, thanks in part to a blatantly self-serving vote by Sen. Chris Murphy “the second,” and pointing out that if a state amendment changed the course and signed a veto at least a few times, his opponent would be eliminated if we needed to get his back. The next veto would be the next to wack one If the House proposal was approved, how would the Republican house changed the name of Alan Hays’ hometown? (Orlando Sentinel)
