I would think personal motivations greatly effect policy.
Edit: Why else would anyone want to become a lawmaker? It's all about getting into a position of power at the end of it all. You put yourself into a position where you can impose your motives and will on others, either "because what I want is the right thing", or "because it is simply what I want".
