You do know that politicians do not draft any legislation I hope. They take an idea like banning smoking in cars and send that idea to a group who researches, writes and presents the idea to the politicians who then discuss and suggest revisions. They don't actually write anything, the people who do are unelected government employees who will still have their jobs after the election and will still be able to draft legislation no matter which party is in power. Politicians provide guidance and direction but the government is run by bureaucrats who will continue to run it after the election.
