Maybe it is better that way. The written constitution can be a guiding light or an albatross around the neck.
Statute laws (Government made) from Magna Carta onwards defining the boundary of, but never over ruling, the unwritten Common laws (ancient accepted practices) are technically the UK constitution. Which makes it worrying is that the UK is not a democratic country with its house of lords and hereditary peers (still not all gone I believe) and that old slapper the MAJ on her throne.
