May we all live in interesting times.

Stephen G.@davidallengreen Several thousand years of history tells us that it never has and it never will.... Personally, even though I wasn't there... 1066 was probably messier

I like the idea of constitutional law being like the rules of the game.
It certainly feels as though at some point in the recent past we stopped playing association football and started playing rugby.
Hopefully the rulebook will catch up at some point.
Michael Warhurst@davidallengreen “The opportunity cost of this post-Brexit preoccupation with constitutional matters, and this government’s infantile obsession with stoking culture war issues, is that insufficient thought and effort is going into many other areas of public policy.”

Gareth Kitchen@davidallengreen And there's voter suppression with voter ID designed to hinder certain groups
Adelaine Anderson@davidallengreen what have we become!
Peter Brown@davidallengreen the union was brought about by the monarch. She ordered her representatives in both Scotland and England to negotiate first a treaty and then the respective acts.
Therefore, perhaps it falls to the monarch to facilitate the end of the union. It seems to me that anything below the level of head of state will not suffice to make it happen.

But the monarch will baulk at anything which might affect his "greed machine", the Crown Estates.

@StuartHenney @davidallengreen AFAIK the Crown Estates in Scotland are already paid to Scotland
