Should Britain have a written Consitution?

[trillobyite]

As one should know, it is one of the only 2 democratic nations on Earth that does not. I think it should because:
1. Without one, the Parliament has no one whatsoever to yield to. (Contrast this to the US, where there is a system of checks and balances)
2. It might improve Britain's integration into the EU.
3. It would prevent the rise of a totalatarian leader.
4. The Parliament can make major decisions based only on whether a majority supports a certain motion; with a constitution, there are more clarified legal procedures, like 2/3 majority.

So...anyone agree? Disagree?

What the F*CK are you both babbling about. Seriously.

I appreciate that trill is trying to start a debate or discussion but I dont agree with you.

Snowcraft has no idea what hes saying. If your going to stereotype the UK then at least stereotype us right. The UK is not stereotyped as having bad teeth. You utter knobhead.

No, but Britain is.

The UK (United Kingdom) is Britain...

Britain is part of the UK, not the whole damn thing. Tell that to Ireland and Wales.

No, Britain is the UK. The UK is Britain. Britain is made up of Scotland, England, WALES and IRELAND which together make us The United Kingdom. The only people who could say there separate are parts of Ireland.

Why don't you agree? Ok, some of my points are a bit far-fetched. It is improbable that any tyrant will rise to power in Britain or that any faction can gain too significant an advantage over the other. But a written constitution just...ya know, feels better. It solidifies necessary procedures, and, most importantly, it provides for a system of checks and balances that cannot be eradicated by any person or group with too much power. Whaddya think?

I just don't agree. I really can't be assed explaining why. Im not good at explaining myself. I think its pretty obvious that we dont need a written consitution. Are systems have been working for us for a long long time and I dont think we need to change that.
