the brits dont even have one!
A br*t I know always talks about how it's actually really good that their's no formal constitution because the government can just shift to meet the current age. Like, my guy, you have human shit in your river, what the fuck are you talking about?
having a formal constitution doesn't make a difference to the rivers, am*ricans have one and the cuyahoga regularly caught fire until the 70s
That's fair. I guess my argument was more against the idea that everything is going great in the UK because they do things a little bit differently over there
It's actually awesome that there isn't any document that defines which rights are at the basis of the functioning of the state and its relationship with its subjects, and who those subjects are, because that means the state can just ignore people's needs and unperson whoever they think will win them the consent from the masses to keep ignoring them (read: migrants and Trans people).
Not that having a constitution would stop them from doing that, but at least it would put an extra step in place, and it's wild the pretense isn't being kept at all.
they'll tell you that they do have one, but they just... prefer not to write it down:
they're quite committed to the bit, even going so far as having a whole thing they call "UK constitutional law" (replete with varieties of court dress).
i know right. yeah thats when you ask which country does not have a constitution, lmao
