No change:
I have to tell you, that line is more or less how it works at the moment. All I have done is take the House out of it, but I remain sure that the Senate shall remain a States\' House wholly dominated by the parties and as such throughly anti-federalist.
9. The Parliament of the Commonwealth may make laws prescribing the method of choosing senators, but so that the method shall be uniform for all the States. Subject to any such law, the Parliament of each State may make laws prescribing the method of choosing the senators for that State.
The Parliament of a State may make laws for determining the times and places of elections of senators for the State.
What can you do to de-couple the Senate from the parties? Everything I have thought of either makes the situation worse by most likely squeezing out the minor parties or seems to be the beginnings of a constitutional crisis.
