The Political Process is about Leadership. The outcomes you see are what leadership wants.

The individual politician has little power. Once they have voted for leadership, their influence diminishes and they are carried on the wave determined by leadership. Leadership determines the committees, the rules, who chair committees, what ideas will become law, and directing the outcome/results leadership wants.

The party out of power is redundant. They get to watch and complain without influence.

This is why you should vote the party and not the individual politician.

Think about it.
