thank god
I used this
very reputable
Ok, Find me one source which says we have a codified constitution
I said it was written
and it is
our constitution isn't a single document
it's the body of work
the whole thing
You did also say it was codifed.
then i apologise

but it is codified
So, we are on the same page that we have a written, uncodified cnstitution?
yep
however I do believe we should have a second standard of law that is constitutional law, that is harder to adjust than normal law
but I don't know if that takes us out of the realm that we're currently in
I think it would be workable to allow us the best of both
where we can have things like FOS and say for example; it needed to have a super majority in the HOC & a ref that must be immediately implemented to modify
idk, just an idea in my head
Like a codified constitution?
We used to have that, it was called the bill of rights, then it got amended in parliament many many times
1689
An uncodfied constitution can have such a thing added, just as parts of it devolved power through different docments.
The Bill of Rights placed sovereignty in the hands of parliament and the gentry, iirc, although it did spell out rights for the common man. Someone told me once, and I'm thinking it must have been the comments of a livestream somewhere because I havent seen it since and it was only n small comments with no real substance, that many of the amendments aren't lawful as they didn't go through proper parliamentary process.
I don't mind a constitution proper, but we keep the monarchy <:pepe:312704217028493312>
does anyone have a link to a news story that Sargon bragged about older colonies preferring British rule to self-governance?
WEll there are 14 colonies that still fall under British rule 🤔
They rule themselves for the most part but defence and foreign policy is determined by the UK
Our constitution work based on precedence and that works extremely well as it is adaptable
Unfortunately the flaws exposed when some nobhead called bojo comes in and starts going against precedence in such an extreme way
And there aren’t any clear checks and balances to say no fuck off
They better mean that
i'm not sure how they expect to evade the fallout if they dont mean it
when the jig is up they're going to get disemboweled
They could do the Kaiserreich method of fleeing to Canada, Oswald Mosley rises from the grave and screams D I R E C T R U L E F R O M L O N D O N to escape their problems.
To be fair if Boris just decided to ignore the law who exactly is going to stop him
