One thing that is becoming clear from the rule of the Court of Tangerine Tyrant... if the US constitution fails to contain the danger of Trump's administration, people like me who support a written constitution as a way of improving UK politics are going to have some re-thinking to do.... because Trump is the very sort of leader a written constitution would be expected to protect people from.
If a constitution doesn't work in this case, then how useful would it be?
