There really needs to be some kind of time-based limit on when legislators can reintroduce a law after it gets voted down, even when it's mildly tweaked.
There should also be a direct-democracy based veto power given directly to the people.
Laws like that will never bind them, they’ll just find ways to change it just enough to meet any requirements.
The problem is the people who keep pushing for it.
Hence the need for the public to have veto power. There should also be a way to force a vote to remove a politician from power if they aren't following the will of their constituents.
