@AndyCavster @2helenback2 When the establishments and its fellowships lose control they try to survive by exerting more control, but that is pure stupidity it's just a death struggle or an erection caused by rigor mortis the penis dont know its dead yet :)

@LyinRampant note use of the word #consitution #stillbliss ? Appreciation of the development and evolution of the United Kingdom constitution is vital in order to understand the existing nature of the constitution, proposals for reform and the many complex challenges it faces. Ann Lyon presents a vivid overview of fourteen hundred years of English legal history taking us on a rich journey from a feudal society to the fractured Union of the present day. Drawing on key constitutional themes, Constitutional History of the United Kingdom provides insight and context to modern constitutional problems.

@LyinRampant #stilldaftie Constitutional History of the United Kingdom tells the story of the evolution of the constitution to the present day. It is a fascinating story, extremely well told by an historian who now teaches law. The book is of relevance to students of law, history and government, a source of reference for undergraduate law students and essential reading for postgraduate study. The author makes the point that students of law often lack a historical perspective, essential to a thorough knowledge of the UK constitution -
True forms of government, for Aristotle, are the ones that are constituted according to the principles of justice and regard the common interest of the people. And the governmental constitutions that only regard for the interests of the rulers are perverted and deteriorated forms of the true constitutions

EEC
Wilson's referendum was inspired solely by the realisation that the consent of the electorate ought first to have been obtained before we joined the EEC. The lack of legitimacy of the European Communities Act brought about the decision by the incoming Prime Minister and Labour leadership that a referendum should be held in preference to yet another general election. But, almost inevitably, the question asked in the referendum was also illegal since voters were asked: `Do you think that the United Kingdom should stay in the European Community (the Common Market)?' -
Bill of RIGHTS
Precedents show that the British constitution (which may not be written and formalised in the same way as the American constitution is presented) but which is, nevertheless, enshrined and codified in the Magna Carta (1215), the Petition of Right (1628), the Bill of Rights (1689) and the Act of Settlement (1701) requires Parliament to consult the electorate directly where constitutional change which would affect their political sovereignty is in prospect. (The 1689 Bill of Rights contains the following oath: `I do declare that no foreign prince, person, prelate, state or potentate hath or ought to have jurisdiction, power, superiority, pre-eminence or authority within this Realm.' Since this Bill has not been repealed it is clear that every treaty Britain has signed with the EU has been illegal.)

HEATH and MP's
In 1972, when Heath decided to take Britain into the Common Market, he used Parliament's legal sovereignty to deny and permanently limit the political sovereignty of the electorate. Heath and Parliament changed the basic rules and they did not have the right (legal or moral) to do that. The 1972 European Communities Bill wasn't just another Act of Parliament. Heath's Bill used Parliament's legal sovereignty, and status as representative of the electorate, to deny the fundamental rights of the electorate. -
Pareliment
Some MPs have subsequently claimed that `Parliament can do whatever it likes'. But that isn't true, of course. Parliament consists of a number of individual MPs who have been elected by their constituents to represent them. Political parties are not recognised in our system of government and Parliament does not have the right to change the whole nature of Britain's constitution. We have (or are supposed to have) an elective democracy not an elective dictatorship. Parliament may, in law and in day to day issues, be the sovereign power in the state, but the electors are (in the words of Dicey's `Introduction for the Study of the Law of the Constitution' published in 1885) `the body in which sovereign power is vested'. Dicey goes on to point out that `in a political sense the electors are the most important part of, we may even say are actually, the sovereign power, since their will is under the present constitution sure to obtain ultimate obedience.' Bagehot, author of The English Constitution, 1867, describes the nation, through Parliament, as `the present sovereign'. -
A union of 16 commonwealth realms is the natural step forward sharing history, common law, head of state, commandeering chief, parliamentary democracy, common language, family ties and heritage, many institutions are same/similar a union of equals were Ireland can become whole again. If countries lick Scotland, Eire and UK were able to share an undemocratic union let's build a better one, to say its impossible is a short sighted view after all we went to space and the moon.

Why Not this?
why is it people are stuck in a confined very view have seen this with #britexit debate, they wish to only see possibilities in a narrow blinkered channel and there are so many combinations to move forward with.
For me what is wrong in discussing a new union of Ireland and UK alone with the other #commonwealth realms? Every thing should on the table and nothing excluded, even the constitution and makeup of all and any of the members I propose.
