Constitutional law expert Sebastian Payne argued the case for the UK to have a written constitution when he appeared as a guest on KMTV\u2019s Paul on Politics show, broadcast on Friday.<\/p>\n
Sebastian believes current constitutional arrangements are obscure and antiquated. He says it\u2019s time to refresh the constitution and suggests that clarifying the powers of government and the authority of Parliament would make it easier for the Supreme Court to rule on contentious political issues with greater confidence.<\/p>\n
Sebastian\u2019s comments are based on research for his article on \u2018The Supreme Court and the Miller case: More reasons why the UK needs a written constitution<\/a>\u2019 which was published in the journal The Round Table: The Commonwealth Journal of International Affairs.<\/em><\/p>\n On Friday\u2019s Paul on Politics show, Sebastian and fellow guest, Daniel Rose (a Conservative councillor) were also quizzed on Brexit and matters of regional and national concern by show host, Paul Francis.<\/p>\n Watch the programme\u00a0online<\/a> (with discussion of the UK constitution beginning about 18 minutes in).<\/p>\n
