Politicians, at least in the US, are not he ones that write the laws. They have teams of aids that are given direction and then do that for them. In other cases laws can even be written by private firms and our politicians then have their teams look over it. Politicians spend the vast majority of their time fund raising for their next election. Though maybe a more fundamental point is that our legal system is quite broken. The legalese is intended to ensure clarity, yet when it results in a system where fewer people than ever have any clue about what the law actually says, in anything beyond the most broad meaningless strokes, one must wonder whether it has actually achieved its purpose or not.
