Please, exercise a little care before commenting on the constitutional  
affairs of other nations.  The debate as to whether Britain has a  
constitution has gone on for hundreds of years and is not over yet.  A  
constitution may exist, even if it is unwritten.  Such a constitution  
may be stronger than one written on a piece of paper, but where people  
don't do what the words on the paper say.
