The British did. And they did a damn good job at doing it if you ask me. We made a miserable attempt at following it. I truly honestly beleive that the generations from the 60's had no idea about how the country "should" function thus why we were given our constitution. although modified today (thank god and intelligent people - the few that do exist) it still holds strong. It was built in the image of the UK constitution which I have also browsed into.
Are you saying that the constitution is to blame for all the trouble? How comes a multinational cosmopolitan city like London can live with all sorts of ethnicities and still be considered British then? They can do it perfectly with 7 million people (I've seen it and lived it) and you're telling me that you blame the people that wrote the damn thing for you?

Kind of unjust don't you think?

mate...there is no such thing as a UK constitution. What are you talking about?

Are you saying that one of the most forward nations of the world has no written down laws in a constitutional manner?

Yes, thats exactly what I'm saying. And I'd stick off the wiki as evidence if I were you despite the fact that you didn't read your own wiki link.

The UK has no single constitutional document comparable to those of other nations. It is therefore often said that the country has an "unwritten", uncodified or de facto constitution

Where is this UK constitution you say you read?

Browsing the constitutional laws doesn't make me a solicitor mate. But never the less my knowledge suffices to validate my statements.

I'll ask again, since the UK has no written constitution, where is this constitution you read?

Something you should know about this forum mate is that if you bullshit, you'll be picked up on it straight away.

I take it you think you picked up on someone's bullshit? Don't go too far on that.

It is true that the constitution of the United Kingdom is not a written one in it's literal sense thus "uncodified" . It is also derived from many sources. From my knowledge the only written form of the UK constitutional laws excluding the acts are the works of authority. But I can assure you that it is mistaken to take the UK legislations as not part of a constitution thus proving the very existence of one.

UK? I could've sworn I studied the "British Constitution" back in my high school days...

Oh, this isn't were I spotted the bullshit. Tne bullshit was when you wrote

Anyone who thinks that the constitution that was given to us by the Brits, in order to maintain a divide and rule policy, where one community did not by itself have the power to take a decision such as...oh I don't know....demand the removal of the british bases...is bullshitting.

A constitution which gives 18% of the population complete veto power and will bring an entire country to a standstill at the very first opportunity is not what I'd consider a good opportunity. I suggest you go read up about dual municipalities and tax collection which were to blame for the 1963 inter communal violence and then come and boast about the positives of a constitution that pisses on 82% of the nation.

Oh and once again....any link you can give me on that constitution you read would be appreciated.

I did say I wasn't an expert. But yes I do believe in precision terminology for that matter. For that I apologise
