Act of Settlement under threat

[Furunculus]

I don't particularly care. I will be happy with a "British Constitution" which invalidates all previous legal documents from the dark ages and after.

lots of countries has shiny constitutional documents expressing all kinds of happy and nice sentiments, but many of them still periodically try to butcher each other in the most spectactular fashion, this is largely because their political sentiment is nothing more than words, with no deep association with their shared social and cultural history.

I for one would be deeply sad to see the historical roots of our 1300 year old demand for representative governance thrown out the window:

or for that matter the deep historical understanding of the rights and duties of man stemming from 800 year old legal contract:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_Carta

or its 400 year old improvement:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petition_of_Right

or the 320 year old tradition of the supremacy of parliament in the form of constitutional monarchy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_Rights_1689

Without that link a constitution is nothing more than words on paper, and there are reasons in addition to geography that are cause for the joyous fact of our unparalleled social stability!
