Topics in political institution reform

Senate Reform: Perhaps we should specify what aspects of the Senate people feel need to be reformed. For example, while some feel it should be reformed under the "Triple-E" criteria (equal, elected, and efficient), others only agree with one of these principles or another criteria altogether. Also, some might want the Senate should be abolished altogether. This could come in the form of a follow-up question.

Electoral Reform: For those who feel the electoral system should be reformed, we could inquire about what aspect of the system they want changed -- for example, a more proportional system that minimizes fractionalization, or a system that allows for smaller parties to be represented (or both).

Parliamentary Decorum: There has been some discussion in the media and Parliament about improving the decorum and cooperation of lawmakers. We should include a question about whether politicians' antics increase cynicism/apathy among the electorate and whether they want decorum improved.
