Dave 1, Britain has a variety of written documents that are our present Constitution, and as I stated above, they are not written in one sole document. But every law in Britain is written somewhere.
The term legal, which is more commonly used in Britain, is representative for the term constitutional.
British law is based to an extent on precedent, which is important in courts, and also on bills passed in Parliament, on written laws in general. Whatever law is taken into consideration, it must be written on a document and sealed by the legal authority, in the same way as a judge's decision must be based on a previously written document and must itself be written down as record.
It is important to understand that the British identification of law and of that what is legal is the equivalent to constitutional. Acts of Parliament, or laws, become constitutionally binding.
Also, not everything that today is law can be repealed tomorrow according to public opinion. Some, or even many laws, could be amended, but there are important written laws that will never be repealed as such.
One of these is recognition of a Parliament that governs our Country. May-be a brief look at the Magna Carta will help understand that there is a written proto-constitution.
Parliamentary authority was further increased after the second Civil War, and again after the Glorious Revolution, and in later times too.
Written documents regards parliamentary authority are there, and this is the bases of British democracy and of British law. Once again, you will find that there is a British Constitution, and that it is written, albeit in different documents and not in one document. The fact that the laws can change through legal (constitutional) procedures, has never been questioned by me, but rather the idea of existing laws being misinterpreted, hence my point that Britain cannot just get militarily involved in the strife of another country.
To do so and jeopordise our security and prosperity, or that of other countries, without respecting existing law and international law, can lead to what we see when T. Blair has to face a court and answer for involving Britain in a war by deceiving Parliament.
