Science can provide background information, and can also be the cause of certain political decisions. Decisions regarding the environment should need to be backed up by science.

It is important so that way it’s well informed. You don’t want just a random legislator that’s not important or relevant.

Because there is a scientific explanation for almost everything and it helps them make decisions. Science can also show them what the effects of their actions would be.

Science is important to government and because science is factual and you can't deny it. Political decisions should involve facts and science instead of always being based on opinion.

Science is important to the government because it is important for those who are making laws (especially in reference to the environment) to be informed about what they’re making laws about.

Science is important in politics because the government and people need to be able to know the effects of their policies. Science helps us to understand how the policies will effect the environment, society, etc.

Science is important for making political decisions, because making decisions without being informed is not good. People need to make sure they know what they are voting for before they vote or they will end up with laws that they don't want.

Without data, there would be little to no reason to change anything with the climate and such.

Because science can act as information to fall back on for both the people and the government if the people want something to change then they need data to support their reason for change.

Science contributes to decisions and laws written into office, without data there is no change. But realistically the government ignores it anyways.
