I thought we were a parliamentary democracy?

The UK constitution isn't worth the paper it isn't written on

I have to agree with Flyboy though. It is dodgy. However, after the massive erosion of civil liberties that Labour forced upon us, I think this is a small hit to take. I am so looking forward to this repeal bill

Oh. One also has to wonder about a 'constitution' that only needs a majority of 50% +1 to change the definition of a majority. Time to get some things in writing me thinks. Most civilised countries require a majority of 3/4 (+ 1) to change the constitution.
