Lots of EU-countrys have "Late night sessions" in parliament, were one party representatives listen to EU-Legislature being read and voted into national law. The whole parliamentary process there is a farce, with the voting members often being asleep while the law is being read.

It seems highly likely that either a voting members staff or themselves have likely pre-read the bill in advance and as such know which way they are voting.

As a result, it seems like late night sessions are more about show that anything else?
