The Australian model is twelve Senators from each state, half elected at each election, using STV (but above-the-line voting makes it behave more like a closed list), plus two from each territory, with the territorial senators both elected at every election. That might work? I know it means more Senators than MPs in some provinces, which is contrary to your Constitution, but our Constitution sets a minimum of 5 MPs per state and doesn't require MPs to outnumber Senators in each state, just generally across the country.

Wormy, Tories outpolled Grits in 2011 in PEI. Of course, candidate could make a difference.

Like I said, I averaged the results of '08 and '11.

Sorry, I missed that. Quite right.
