A common complaint among legislators is a lack of time to actually read bills. The tactic used by leadership in nearly every legislative body is to overwhelm legislators so they don't know what is in the bills. This leaves legislators simply following leadership and voting however they are told. One term used in the Mississippi House is "vote bottom right". If you look at the voting board in the House, you will see “Speaker” at the bottom right. Many legislators simply look at what the Speaker is doing and vote with him.
