Elected representatives frequently introduce bills that have no chance of passing or being considered. This proposed legislation is only to gain points with the electorate: "I introduced a bill to ban/promote XYZ but it was killed by the other side". It's red-cape waving. I would like to come up with a name for this behavior but I'm trying to restrict my use of bad language and negative thinking. | ||

>>to gain points with the electorate are you 100% sure the point of this bill that punishes free speech is to gain points with electorate? or perhaps the donor-class ? | ||
