"The Politics of Logrolling"

"The Politics of Logrolling" refers to a political practice where lawmakers agree to support each other's proposals or bills in order to achieve mutual benefits. This often occurs in legislative bodies, where politicians trade votes—one agrees to vote for another's project in exchange for support on their own. Logrolling helps secure the passage of various initiatives that may not have enough support individually. While it can lead to cooperation and compromise, it may also result in the allocation of resources to less critical projects merely to satisfy a political bargain.
