It reflects the rather vague principle of ‘the greatest good for the greatest number’ (Bentham, 1780[1948]) and can be so interpreted if social good is measured by the number of people pleased by the result of an election or a referendum, provided there are exactly two candidates or two ways of voting on an issue.
