Any new statute will over-ride common law previously in place, provided it is properly worded. Existing laws, rules, agreements and conventions can all be terminated or superseded. These things are not the major problems they are made out to be.
The House of Lords could be a problem, which is why Reform would have to be careful to set out what they wanted to do in their manifesto.
