I have shared with you my incomplete attempt at a written codified constitution for the UK. One thing I never did was to list the important features and aims first. In fact I started with the American Constitution as the base. I do believe in properly defining the counties and their powers and will add this to my C in the future. I particularly liked your point that by diminishing the power of parliament, it weakens a so-called political class.Stuartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-54050254061850948802011-08-19T03:26:23.831-07:002011-08-19T03:26:23.831-07:00TT: 'Sok,, I knew what you meant!

Our politicians will never allow this to happen because the next step for an English parliament would be to declare independance from Scotland, Wales and NI, ridding us of the parts that we currently support with our taxes.eddyhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-30934395604071028872011-08-19T02:56:20.676-07:002011-08-19T02:56:20.676-07:00context = "contest" in codecontext = "contest" in codeTomTomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-61857067172646713442011-08-19T02:55:49.004-07:002011-08-19T02:55:49.004-07:00It should be illegal for political parties to cont...It should be illegal for political parties to context local elections.
