Description:'Party competition is largely about making policy promises to voters. We argue that the clarity of the expressed policy position may be equally important. If blurred messages towards different audiences and therefore ambiguous positions can attract votes from  different groups, parties have incentives to present ambiguous rather than clear-cut policy platforms. We present a formal model of multiparty competition with stochastic voting where party leaders make strategic choices on both the position and the level of ambiguity of their platforms. Leaders respond to the demands of two principals, the general public and party core constituencies.
