Abstract: This paper introduces a problem related to decision-making and the shaping of political strategies in the course of one term of office. First it is assumed than one of the parties, say the one in the government, does not modify its position and then the other one, say the opposition, searches for the best proposal within a circular neighborhood of flexibility. Next it is assumed that the government and the opposition shape their proposals for action on two issues that are relevant for the citizens and a variable component is considered regarding both the relevance of the issues to be dealt with and the strategies that the parties are presumed to adopt. This component is reflected in the consideration of elliptic neighborhoods of flexibility for both parties. In addition, it is considered that the process is dynamic because the proposals are intended to be modified taking into account the other party's foreseen action in order to get the maximum number of votes. The!
contribution of this article lies in this approach, as well as in its taking into account variable components. The problem is dealt with from a geometric point of view, and a search algorithm to find optimum strategies is developed.
Keywords: Computational geometry, Operations research, Search algorithms.
