[edit] It is often said that the UK does not have a written constitution
The first paragraph currently has "It is therefore often said that the country has an uncodified, or de facto constitution". I think it is much more frequently said that Britain does not have a written constitution. It looks as if the cited source agrees with me. The editor who wrote the following sentence, apparently also expected the preceding sentence to use the word unwritten and not uncodified or de facto. So I would suggest changing it (back) to "It is often said that it does not have a written constitution."--Boson (talk) 12:57, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
The problem with the 'unwritten constitution' line is that although it is often said, it is not true (ie every bit of the consitution has been written down somewhere, even if only in the works of authority). It's probably not worth putting something in the introduction which is factually incorrect, even if it is often said - I think this would confuse the reader. Thom2002 (talk) 18:17, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, but that is explained in the following sentences. Now it reads
Unlike many nations, the UK has no single core constitutional document. It is therefore often said that the country has an uncodified, or de facto constitution. However, much of the British constitution is embodied in the written form, within statutes, court judgments, and treaties. The constitution has other unwritten sources, including parliamentary constitutional conventions and royal prerogatives.
- The second sentence is not supported by the cited sources (and is probably untrue) and the following sentence, beginning with 'however', seems to refer back to a statement that is no longer there. Since many people will have heard that the UK has no written constitution, it makes sense to state explicitly that that is not the case (with appropriate references). The wording "it is often said . . ." itself strongly implies that it is not true. --Boson (talk) 18:52, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
