Topics in political institution reform

Quinn: Our senate questions are pretty loaded to cast the senate in a negative light especially the last question on salary. Rather than state the senators' salaries are "high", we could rephrase it:

Is the Senate cost effective? -) No, the senate is very expensive for what it does -) The Senate is a little bit expensive for what it does -) The Senate is cost effective -) The Senate is very cost effecive -) I'm not sure

I think overall our senate questions are suggesting that the senate ought to be a democratic institution, which is not a given. An Undemocratic senate which exists to check the excess of democracy might be what some people want. 

It seems that senate reform is a big enough issue that we could easily use all five questions to address it if we decide to go in that direction.
