Triple-E Senate
Triple-E Senate
The term “Triple-E Senate” refers to a Senate which is elected, equal, and effective.
(Aucoin, 2006, p.25)
---------------------------------
The term “Triple-E Senate” has been used to refer to the Australian Senate, which means: (i) elected, and therefore legitimate; (ii) equal, in terms of the representation of the Australian states; and (iii) effective, in countering the Government’s control of the House of Representatives.
It has also been the dominant reform model for the Canadian Senate as popularized by the Reform Party of Canada.
