    Maybe.

    But we don’t have people storming the capital in an attempt to overthrow elections here (UK) and we don’t have a formal constitution.

    The two things might be unrelated.

      And we did have some guys trying to storm the Reichstag in Berlin, we do have a constitution, but we don’t call it constitution and it’s also more of a permanent draft.

        Honestly, it’s been in continual decline my entire life. Thatcher put an end to any sense of social responsibility, New Labour ushered in the era of post-truth politics, Boris and his bunch didn’t even have to pretend that they were acting in the interest of the country.

        Anything short of full political reform will only end up being the next phase in this hell spiral.
