Right now, it gives them both legislative power and increased institutional capacity for a party that is fading. The solution - keep appointing Tories until it hurts (the Liberals).

It will require populist majorities. In order to be a chamber of sober second thought the Senate has to be composed of individuals who will never have to face the electorate again. Someone has to be able to tell the government to unknot its underwear once in a while. I am a Conservative party member, and I resent your implication that all Conservatives support the sabotage of good government you advocate.
