I'd just like to make a couple of points here:
1) The UK does not have a constitution (we rely on the House of Lords to
interpret Roman law, parliamentary law and precedent). Also, the
subjects (not citizens) of the UK don't have too many (if any) rights
defined in any formal way, so you really are not going to get very far
citing this as an example of a set of rules being better than some people
deciding.
2) this is going way off topic, and has been quite tedious for some time.
Cheers, Phil.
