    It was never designed to be dominated by one or the other major political party, that is for sure. It was designed as a house to represent each state of the commonwealth equally, so that no state could dominate any other state or receive special treatment.

    But the votes there are all along party lines, not based on state interests, so it's function is largely lost.
