It’s wild this is even allowed in your country. You’d think a bill should relate to a single topic or area so you can actually vote on it, and people can easily see how reps voted on certain topics.
But if they did that, how else would they be able to get money for some random project in their district. Or tack on something everyone is against because the optics of going against the stop Stop Child Rape bill are so bad.
If there is no answer for “how does this help a politician?” then it’s probably not going to happen.
??? How am I supposed to get pork-barrel projects for my district? That would never work! People should be forced to vote for things they don’t agree with to get things they do agree with. That’s the American way.
