- Should the UK adopt a codified constitution?
- No
- It would be too difficult to change and may become outdated.
- It would give unelected judges the power to prevent elected judges from carrying out its pledges.
- Uncodified constitutions are naturally evolving - codified constitutions are legalistic.
- It may be harder for a government to carry out its manifesto promises.
- Government power could be checked by other existing systems.
- Yes
- It would provide clear rules - less confusion for the public.
- It would formally limit the power of the government - addresses the issue of elective dictatorship.
- It could be policed and protected by judges, who are politically neutral.
- It would allow for a stronger protection of rights - entrenched.
- it would bring the UK in line with other modern democracies.
- No
