I've never understood why people say the UK doesn't have a constitution, or even why they say we don't have a written one. Ours is probably the largest written constitution in the world. It just wasn't written down in one time or place. It's evolved over centuries. It may lack clarity and be prone to ambiguity, but it doesn't enslave us the way more recently composed constitutions can, which codify the needs and assumptions of a particular body of framers.
