Well, the avearge Canuck said, "What the fuck? That would be one step away from mob rule." Having the Upper House membership decided on by the general public? Why... the next step would be asking Joe Public to vote on propositions on ballots like they do in The States. Ludicrous beyond all common sense!

Remember that dashing young man on the sailing machine? The one that proposed a referendum be granted if 350,000 Canucks signed up? 22 Minutes kicked his ass on behalf of every sane Canuck and Doris had to slink away. Same deal. Mob rule.

We have an excellent political system. It shows... well, it did before the politicians got money fever, anyway. Can you say "offshore"?
