I would never vote for the NDP and I disagree with a number of their policies as well as their leadership, however relative to the system that exists right now where it is not an elected position and turns into a patronage position for all intents and purposes, this has to be seen as a better option.

Personally however I support an elected senate that could act at least in some way as a check and balance without slowing down government business to a standstill.
