[St Charles Owl]

A country with no written constitution Jim and it shows, has done for years. I call this constitutional disintegration - been accelerating since 2016, has exacerbated these probs: a divided governing party, jealous backstabbing Cabinets, a rapid turnover of PMs and CoEs, a general lack of inclusion and accountability in decision-making, governance diluted by interference of RW ideological think tanks. I could go on - the main point is it's an unconstitutional mess that nobody has the political courage to remedy with proper reform and sweeping measures to it change for the better good of the people.

Not sure a constitution would prevent many of those things from happening, for proof of that you only have to look to what is happening this side of the pond where in 3 weeks we could be on the road to autocracy in spite of the presence of a constitution!!

At the end of the day, what we are seeing is down to the Tories and their policies, just like here its down to the Republicans and what they want to do. Checks and balances are one way to try to avoid this but that is not a certainty either. We need to lay the blame at the feet of those who caused it and not sugar coat it by blaming something like the lack of a constitution. We need to call them out on their lies and not accept them, and that applies to other same party members. We are now seeing some of that from some Tory MPs, just like we have seen it from a few Republican politicians over here, but its not enough yet.
