@davidallengreen Are they talking generally about the UK constitution, or is this revisiting the idea of a single codified document? When huge changes to the civic fabric are made without consideration of an overall framework, more things break and can be corrupted. I'm thinking specifically of regional assemblies, changes to Lords, and obviously Brexit, which have made it even more complicated to think about a Constitution.

@davoloid @davidallengreen Read the piece; they're not suggesting significant structural change but rather a strengthening of some of the existing systems of control and regulation, and a return to the idea of constitutionalism in the workings of the UK state.

@ajlanes @davidallengreen Yes, good point. I was getting ahead of myself.
I still think it was that disjointed approach to various aspects of constitutionalism which allowed those systems of control and regulation to lose sight.

@davoloid

I think the letter speaks for itself, and answers your questions, if you read it.
