So Parliament can make any damned law they want with no checks in the law, which would be a fair definition of a constitution.
The UK has no constitution because there is no legal check on Parliament. Parliament can rewrite it on the fly, at their whim.
In other words, no law above Parliament. In other words, no law by which Parliament needs to abide.
In other words, no fucking constitution! A separation of powers is essential to any constitutional government where such constitution rises above any legislative pronouncements. In order to implement such a thing, an independent judiciary to adjudicate disagreements is a necessary element. The UK has none of these elements. Which means that the UK has no fucking constitution.
QED
My best to you.
