Actually, the major difference is that Britain doesn't have
any written constitution at all. Parliament can do anything it
damn well pleases (except make it decisions binding on
future parliaments).


Only in more and more restricted areas. The signing up to several
European treaties since the 1970s has affected many aspects of British
life, and unless something dramatic happens these areas will continue to
shrink. Signing up to Laws on Human rights has led to all sorts of
changes.


So what is to stop a future Parliament un-signing?
