Politicians typically make policy by first identifying issues that require attention and gathering input from constituents, experts, and stakeholders. They then draft proposals, often in collaboration with advisors and legislative staff, before introducing them in the appropriate legislative body. The proposed policies undergo debate, amendments, and voting processes, where they may be influenced by public opinion and political agendas. Once approved, the policies are implemented and monitored for effectiveness.

A direct democracy circumvents the politicians' vote.
a solution might become absolete over time.

The use of debate between politicians over public policy issues typically involves structured discussions where opposing viewpoints are presented, allowing for the examination of various perspectives on a topic. This process often includes formal debates, town hall meetings, and legislative discussions, where politicians articulate their positions, challenge each other's arguments, and engage with public concerns. Such debates help inform voters, clarify policy proposals, and can influence public opinion and decision-making.
