Britain Considering a Written Constitution After 800 Years

[afleitch]

It’s almost impossible to write a constitution, because there’s very little that you need to codify. It seems to be when you want to define something, it’s usually easier in Britain to define what something isn’t rather than what it is (The 1998 Scotland Act defined what powers the Scottish Parliament didn’t have, rather than what it did, which made that governance much easier). That way you aren’t trying to retroactively define limitations.
