Candidates buy votes with promises to better serve their constituents. Once enthroned, they often melt into yea-sayers and appear to be considering the values of the good ol' boys over those of citizens.
They don't make waves or dare speak about the group's folly, wastefulness or injustice because to do so would be offensive to the individuals across the table. Accolades for each other, however, flow bravely and easily.
Going along to get along: It's comfortable but it's cowardly.
