Some written constitutions work - see Germany, Ireland. Some unwritten ones are atrocious - see Israel.

I gave a talk this week on the vulnerability of UK institutions to a populist govt and I was told by an audience member that the US and Hungary couldn't happen here. I said it absolutely could and Reform are learning fast. The complacency is scary

🔥 "The Reform company, sorry party, has already seen four of their new cohort announce that they can’t or won’t represent them in the council chamber, decisions that in some cases will cost local government tens of thousands of pounds."
Ineligible, inept and unspeakable
Reform UK Ltd’s councillors, are already proving they are unfit or unwilling to serve

Don't take it from me. Take it from the government's own assessment:
Everything Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have said about nature protection blocking house building is big fat shining lie.
A lie now being locked into legislation before Parliament.
