I’m not ignoring the question. I’m not the one to decide what an effective oversight program is. That would be for the PA.
What we do know is the Senate has continuously failed. It isn’t a secret. Senators are always...
This is why we should be willing to try stuff like empowering the PA.
We are playing a game. Let’s not forget that. We don’t have some sacred duty or obligation to our traditions and institutions. We can make changes.

But we can...
I did not take the poll, because I did not see my preferred option. So we can add a couple of percentage points to the “open results” tally.
Public results for all elections/votes involving a person.
Private results for votes that do not (referendums).
What makes the public results option...
