Politics UK
Does the UK have a constitution?
Unlike the United States, the UK does not have what’s known as a codified constitution; There’s no single document that sets out exactly what rights you and I have, or how the government of the day is formed. But, just because we don’t have a single document doesn’t mean we don’t have a constitution.

It seems pretty much a certainty that Andy Burnham will be the next British prime minister. Exactly when it happens depends on a few factors. We outline some of the reasons an early general election is likely.

No, we do not have a constitution.
Don't try to justify all this "Yes we do it's just uncodified" bullshit, it's nothing more than cope.
@Evereghalo
December 19, 2023 at 12:52 pm
It does NOT.
@tentonabracadabra3469
December 19, 2023 at 12:52 pm
If it is not written down, or "codified", it does not exist. Therefore the UK does not have a constitution. If a country does not have a constitution, is it even a country in the modern sense?

Does Britain have a constitution, no.
The rest the noise is nothing but tripe.

Nope and we shouldn’t have either because as we change our laws can change as well if you create a constitution here we would be stuck forever in the societal state we are today

England and Wales don't have a constitution, Scotland has the Declaration of Arbroath, and the Claim of Rights.
You should also know before you make videos about it, the UK and Britain are not the same thing.

We desperately need one full of absolute rights and other rights that limit government.
@Jack-kx5rf
December 19, 2023 at 12:52 pm
No but we really need one that is voted on by the people. A basic outline consisting of current legislation and have the citizens vote on amendments where a 2/3 majority gets passed.

The Constitution doesn’t “set out what rights we have” it restricts what rights the government can limit.
@MRBStones

We don't have rights, simple as
@jonathanfell688
December 19, 2023 at 12:52 pm
It is based on all Legal Precendent and confirming judgements, and Laws past and are they in conflict with previous Laws.
Your explanation is ridiculously niave.

Why don't you just get yourself a constitution? Just copy and paste the spanish one. It has some Interesting features. Among others it says that everyone must obey the laws, even the king and the PM. That would be new, wouldn't it?
@markovermeer1394
December 19, 2023 at 12:52 pm
Again, this clip misses the most important thing about a constitution: the added complexity to make changes to it. The current UK did change human rights with a simple majority: a real constitution avoids that.

it isn't ''britain'' mate. it's United Kindom. a UNION of NATIONS, NOT a mono-culture. ''britain'' is a damned lie. AND as I need to tell EVERY English person online somehow. ''Britain'' IS NOT a synonym for England.
The Members of the UNION do NOT all share a singular Law system. Your Rights and MY rights are different, Son. Learn where your nation/culture ends and the UNION it's PART OF begins.

We should have a proper constitution. We need everything laid out properly. So that people can’t just ignore these traditions and get away with blatant criminal acts. As we can see with the rise of ignoring and lying to parliament. Something that is above both the crown and the government.
