Hypothetically, let's suppose Jett Thunders wins today's senate election and Erin O'Toole becomes the next PM whenever the current minority government inevitably falls. Do you really think O'Toole would appoint Thunders to the senate? These non-binding senate elections are a farce and a pointless waste of taxpayer money. No PM -- of any party -- is going to appoint an elected senator if it's not someone with whom they share a political alignment.
