On the one hand, I think it would be fantastic, if you had automated tests for the law. For example, when German politicians introduced the "hacker law", you could have pointed out that "This new law would break the 'security researchers need to be allowed to do penetration testing' test".
On the other hand, "Brexit is in conflict with the Good Friday Agreement, we need a solution for Nothern Ireland." was known without machine readable laws and test, but politicians ignored it anyway.
Maybe what's needed is a law that outlaws test-breaking laws and requires politicians to fix the tests first, but I bet that would just result in a lot of "commented" tests.
