As for the article, that only proves the need for two houses - it doesn't provide arguments for the need for an unelected rather than elected upper house.

Because every other country in the EU uses Proportional Representation. Our system allows for Governments to have huge majorities and this doesn't serve for good government because there are no checks and balances.
