There are a lot of laws that /could/ be brought in. Some of them do some good, others don't. Most, on the face of it, don't - largely because all the things which really needed to be controlled (like assault and murder and theft) have been illegal since forever, so any new law is very likely to be tinkering at the edges or a knee-jerk reaction to stupid tabloid headlines. I think I would probably vote for any party which made a manifesto commitment to pass no new law without repealing at least one old one, and to ensure that any new law enacted or repealed had pr-defined success criteria, with the enactment or repeal automatically reversed if the criteria are not met.

You would need to think carefully about who measured this.
