A desire has been stated by some to make certain reforms with an eye towards increasing interest in Senate elections. Leaving the question particular of those and their merits aside, in general terms would this not work against that stated desire?
I don't think it would make Senate elections less interesting, rather this amendment would give the voters a chance to approve legislation that the Senate rejects. Had this amendment been in place, we wouldn't be waiting around for regional reform to come up through the queue a second time.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but this amendment doesn't seem to allow people to vote on amendments like the fix the regions one, only on bills.
