  We do actually have a constitution, but it is absolutely all over the place, it contains the 1622 Bill of Rights, a 1919 act and a 1948 (ish) act plus 'some parts of earlier articles' - that is earlier than 1622, unidentifiable and in bits back to the Magna Carta. It;s not easily understood and needs sorting out.

  What is more important than this however is the fact that we do not have an elected second chamber and the Queen owns a large amount of personal wealth in the form of land. If it would be possible to eradicate this problem without dismantling the welfare state as a popular political individualist and possibly objectionist (liberal economic) reaction then I would certainly be behind it.
