Yes, a written constitution for Britain would be fantastic, but it will never happen all the while the Establishment runs Britain. Britain's Establishment is older by far than most of us can even begin to comprehend. It can be traced back way beyond the industrial revolution, before the French Revolution, before the War of Independence, long before any of those events. Britain's Establishment is so entrenched, it is part of the British psyche, like blood and honour. A written constitution would mean throwing the Establishment overboard. We could not have one AND the other, therefore the Establishment would have to go. This is not going to happen without a civil revolution of our own, except that it wouldn't be very civil. Not only our system of government would have to be changed in every respect - parliament, first-past-the-post, unelected upper chamber, adversarial confrontation - but our justice system would have to be scrapped entirely and replaced with a fundamentally new approach to match the new constitution. British society, the very essence of Britain and Britishness, would have to expose itself to such radical change that Britain would become an entirely different nation, as if a foreign enemy had invaded and taken over. It will, therefore, never happen and we will continue to become more and more like Ruritania. MM[ Auf dieses Posting antworten ]
