morals in a liberal democracy

[Dorrin]

There is no death penalty anymore, Treason, Setting fires in HM Dockyards, Piracy etc were all repealed (Stephen Fry QI)
Plus the constitution may say that the monarch has the final word but in practise the Queen has as much power as you and me.

I stand corrected.

The death penalty was abolished in 1998.

The UK has ratified both Protocol 6 (abolition of the death penalty in times of peace) & Protocol 13 (abolition of the death penalty in all circumstances) to European Convention on Human Rights:

Hi Dorrin,

I think that the monarch has quite a lot of power. She is head of the class system and a billionaire.
The army swears to Queen and counrty.

A written constitution, who would you suggest write it?

[RetroDon]

I will write it.

[baggie smalls]

Who will you be asking to advise you on the contents, or will it be a solo effort?

[RetroDon]

It will be a solo album - with no help from politicians, businesses or religions.

Hi Baggie,

I think that as every other Western country claiming to be a liberal democracy has a written constitution. Then we should start with the written constitution of the countries whose way of life we admire.

How about looking at America first.
