We extend the setup of Arrow’s General Possibility Theorem by introducing as additional policy alternatives the delegation of certain decisions to an external institution or random device. We show that in this extended setting there exists a Social Welfare Function with universal domain which satisfies the Pareto principle and is independent of irrelevant alternatives, while also being non-dictatorial.
