Vernon Bogdanor once told the Guardian that he made 'a living of
something that doesn't exist'. He also quipped that the British
Constitution can be summed up in eight words: 'Whatever the Queen
in Parliament decides is law'. That may still be the case, yet in
many ways the once elusive British Constitution has now become much
more grounded, much more tangible and much more based on written
sources than was previously the case. It now exists in a way in
which it previously did not. However, though the changes may seem
revolutionary, much of the underlying structure remains unchanged;
there are limits to the changes. Where does all this leave the
Constitution? Here constitutional experts, political scientists and
legal practitioners present up-to-date and in-depth commentaries on
their respective areas of expertise. While also a Festschrift in
honour of Vernon Bogdanor, this book is above all a comprehensive
compendium on the present state of the British Constitution. 'The
highly distinguished team of scholars assembled by Matt Qvortrup
has produced a deeply thought-provoking collection on the profound
constitutional changes that have occurred in the UK over the last
twenty years. A book worthy of reaching a very wide readership'.
Roger Scully, Professor of Political Science, Cardiff University
'Vernon Bogdanor understands like few others the connections
between history, politics and institutions - and that is what makes
him such an authority on the British system of government.' The Rt
Hon David Cameron MP, Prime Minister ' ... a must read [which]
deserves a place on the bookshelf of any novice or experienced
constitutional explorer'. Dr Louise Thompson, Democratic Audit 'If
you have a serious interest in the recent development of the
constitution, and want an understanding of the way Britain is
governed which doesn't start and end with Dicey, this book will
reward your curiosity'. David Green, Progress 'A good book' Philip
Murray, Cambridge Law Journal 'L'intitule des Melanges Bogdanor
condense, avec une simplicite magistrale, les caracteristiques
essentielles de la construction britannique'. Iris Nguyen-Duy,
Revue Francaise de droit constitutionnel A highly valuable and
highly readable contribution to the scholarly debate about the UK
constitution'. Peter Munce, Political Studies Review
