The British constitution Group

[banjodeano]

I have come across this group, they claim to be of no political party, but a group that aims to give us back our rights and freedoms that have been taken away from us by political parties over the years, they claim that this can be done by the use of common law that has been slowly replaced by statute law, what do you people think

Someone tap them on the shoulder and tell them that the empire has gone.

Surely if the law has been replaced then they would need to pass the law again ergo they would need to be elected which makes them political.

The USA has a constitution, so do most other countries. It means that tin pot politicians cannot move the goal posts as it suits them. Under a proper constitution the banks, for a start, could be made to toe the line. Our government could even bring back slavery.............mnd you it already has.......

Is it crackpot i have been reading it and some of it seems to make sense, have i been duped.? in theory it sounds right.

experienced Parliamentarians like Tony Benn were calling for a written constitution over 40 years ago. Before you 'knowledgable gentlemen and ladies pour scorn on the idea, do a bit of research.

I think the UN Declaration on Human rights provides a good framework. What would everyone else want added?

I like that the UK doesn't have a constitution that has to act like some sort of absolute rule of law. As time change so does our morals and what we find acceptable, and as such our laws are a lot freer to change.

Agreed entirely. 100 years ago women voting was very much not the done thing and 40 years ago we were jailing gays.

 

Tempora mutantur, et nos mutamur in illis. An inflexible constitution would create more problems than it solved.
