Get people used to the idea of having a say in who represents them (Democracy, what a concept!), then hopefully a little more can be added (true elected senators), then hopefully the other two E's fall into place.

That would be awesome in theory, but people can't even be bothered to get off their asses and vote in the current federal, provincial, or municipal elections. Will having another decision to make people more willing to participate? And as the initial poster said, is a representative senate going to decrease the effieciency of an already slow moving process?
