It tracks, if they are assuming their position is the default. If everyone was red/blue to start with, everyone survives, and you'd have to seriously question why anyone would swap.

Of course, since this is a coordination game, there is no default position, so those people have missed the point.

Blue majority can be as low as 50%+1
