Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith wrote The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behavior is Good Politics. Yeah a leftist or two can write a book that makes sense. Wherein, they identify three political arenas:

The nominal selectorate - all who can vote

The real selectorate - the people who vote for the winner

The winning coalition - People important to the winner surviving in office
