Leave it be or abolish it, but nothing in between.
Sometimes I do feel that it is an obsolete relic of the past, but the last thing we need is another elected level of government that would be subject to the same weaknesses as the current one. Decisions for the greater good aren't always marketable. Elected politicians are basically in a big popularity contest who more often than not just make decisions to further their careers. If you want a check and balance, it can't be elected. It can't be too powerful either of course.
I would like to see them held to a higher standard though and be subject to removal for misconduct or just not showing up for work.
