Agree + transparency --- I fully agree with you, Patrick. Politicymaking is based on politics, that is a social science that has to be conducted on its own basis, not to be substituted by inputs coming from a non-democratic process of selection of "who/what vision you want to be ruled by". Other aspect is the transparency in policymaking: explaining why you are taking such a decision should become a way to responsabilise policymakers and make grow citizens' awareness. Unfortunately, in the many law preambles you usually see cited many previous laws and few references to science-informed inputs.
