Hot take on government's suggestion to license ICT professionals

Who makes laws in a democracy? The answer is the people. The people through their elected representatives. The representatives don’t sit in one room and decide which laws are good for the people like how a monarchy operates. The people usually come together and discuss with their elected representatives, who in turn gather, in a place now called Parliament, to debate, refine the laws and then finally pass or reject it. So when you see an elected official or politician aggressively fighting the people about a law or proposed law, you can’t help but wonder, who is really making this law and who is the law for? That was what happened with E-levy and many other selfish and poorly thought through laws that had nothing to do with the people but everything to do with politicians and their little closed circle. If laws are supposed to be for the good of the people, then why fight when the same people raise questions about it? Why do politicians seem to become extremely defensive when a law or policy they claim is for the good of the people, is challenged? And why do they seem to be the only ones doing the defense? So in whose interest really is this new policy or law? The people fighting it or the politicians defending it?
