While that's obviously a very good point, one could also argue that this is mostly due to law enforcement and culture. We live in a society where murdering someone gets you outcast pretty easily, and on top of that thrown in jail. Politicians ultimately only wrote down what is a large cultural consensus.
The problems start when politicians decide over smaller things that not everyone can agree on. I mean, damn, they'd be more than incompetent if they didn't get laws regarding murder right.
The latest screw-up of european politicians (the same who are responsible for GDPR) is the european copyright reform, which just shows a complete lack of both technical understanding and willingness to listen to experts who do understand the situation.
I'm not pretending the issues with politics and politicians do not exist, or that they are not enormous. However, a statement like "they have no good days" says more about one's own unwillingness to be politically active than anything else in my opinion.
