> I don't think they'd make many policies if that were the case

That would be progress.

It would potentially mean a huge backlog of boring but basically uncontroversial technical legislation, most likely.

that isn't a bad thing.

I'm inclined to agree, though I feel they're already pretty hands-off for most things that don't have corporate interest or overreaching power driving them.

That's assuming policies are made for the good of society, and not the good of the policy makers.

It doesn't seem like many policies are being made in the first place.

That could be a feature or a bug I suppose.
