In the United States, even most of the legislators do not know what they are voting for.

That is why you get 5,300 page bills placed on their desks 2 hours before the vote.

“That is why you get 5,300 page bills placed on their desks 2 hours before the vote.”

The ACA (obama care) was the same. Had to vote for it before you could read it. There’s something seriously wrong with our system if such a bill is so long and filled with so much mindless unrelated pork and the lawmakers are expected to vote for it without reading it. Somewhere some how this is or should be illegal. They are not representing the public.
