Slava has consistently taken the worst possible view of the right-most party, pretty much without fail, for as long as he has been a member here.

In truth, I view Slava as little more than an opportunist who doesn't really seem to stand for anything.
I used the NDP in my challenge for an obvious reason. So obvious that even you should have been able to figure it out: They don't support the Senate, and it is questionable whether Mulcair would name senators himself were he to become PM. So the question becomes, is Slava so annoyed by this announcement because it represents a "disregard for democracy", or is it just because the Conservatives did it?
And lets not pretend that this is a one-party thing historically, either. The Liberals under Martin deliberately left several of Alberta's Senate seats unfilled - until right before he was about to get turfed.

I'm an opportunist? What opportunities would you say I've been capitalising on? As usual your partisanship just blinds you to the points where I agree with you and that parties you support and you focus on the places where we disagree.
This is absolutely a one party thing. Its the ideology of Harper blindly charting a course for the senate. He has shown that he is unwilling to build a consensus here and doesn't want to negotiate on anything; so rather than consider trying to build a unified idea of senate reform he is charging ahead and saying "if we aren't going to do what I think should happen, then I will do nothing". No other party has taken that stance.
