I agree with the court on elected vs. appointed. Having an elected senate basically defeats the purpose and just makes it redundant.

I think there is validity to whether or not the Senate is obsolete and should be disbanded, but if you were going to go with elected senators, then I'd rather just see it abolished completely.

If the senate is ever abolished, it should come with a complete overhaul of the government structure. Abolish the whole constitutional monarchy along with it.

I know it won't happen in my life time, but that is the dream.
