Unfortunately, government is like that were most bills are written by lobbyists and barely if at all modified by the actual congress critter sponsoring it.

I think that's much more common in state government (in the US).

Most bill in the US Congress are not actually meant to pass, they are just (often poorly written) PR stunts.
