The government’s progress on constitutional & ethical standards has been welcome but underwhelming. It should go further to put the business appointments rules and the new standards regulator on a statutory basis, protect the electoral process and ensure the independence of the Electoral Commission

In the lead article from the latest issue of Monitor, Meg Russell & @alanrenwick.bsky.social argue that the government could be seeking to lead, and to set the tone on constitutional standards, but changes instead feel timid and reluctant.

The Constitution Committee has published a new report on the rule of law.

![174. Professor Meg Russell and Lisa James, UCL Constitution Unit, argued that “[g]overnments should refrain from asking Parliament to act in ways … which may erode the rule of law” and “Parliament must be willing to stand up to a Government which asks it to do so”. This requires a culture of respect for the rule of law amongst parliamentarians, which Dr Cormacain suggested does not currently exist.397 He argued that there “needs to be a change in political culture”, so that when rule of law issues are identified, such as by select committees, this will have “a major impact on whether an Act passes”. The Bar Council endorsed the view of the Bingham Centre that such a culture could be developed by making greater use of explicit references to the rule of law in parliamentary debates, as this would highlight its relevance to a broad array of policy areas.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rrfsy7upxelwmqgb32nq536y/bafkreif7xcabh3akv5a25qwzgtp7ajveso2yeubdntlrqa6ynydusmlmim@jpeg)
