How many politicians would fall if we did make poisoning and dividing life in any country a crime? I suspect Parliament (Scottish and English) would be largely empty, and the White House, Congress and the Senate would be pretty much deserted, apart from whatever staff are required for administration and support in those buildings.
Note: I am not defending anyone who does that, as I do think it is terrible that any politician does that.
