Foot voting
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In demographics, foot voting describes the tendency of people to "vote with their feet", that is to migrate when they perceive situations to be more beneficial elsewhere. It is also used as an analogy to describe shifting political or commercial allegiances.
It is similar in nature to Dollar voting.
Just as dollar voting requires a degree of economic freedom to be effective, foot voting is effective only if people have the freedom to migrate.
The concept is frequently associated with Charles Tiebout.[1] The term was also popularized by Ronald Reagan.[2]
