Publication Type: Proceeding Abstract: This paper has three goals: i. to review a selection of the literature on the politics of the British constitution which has appeared in the last year or more; ii. to assesses the state of debate on constitutional politics; and iii. to place selected debates and issues in constitutional politics over the last year in the context of the foregoing discussion. Emphasis in the paper is given to interpretations and ‘interpreters’ of the constitution and this is set alongside developments over the last year. An underlying theme of this paper is the search for legitimacy. Unlike other areas of public policy, constitutional politics involves ‘rules of the game’, matters which require the consent of winners and losers alike to provide legitimacy. Other public policies or institutions may be opposed but the rules of the game are qualitatively different. Both election winners and losers need to consent to rule changes for legitimacy to be maintained. Indeed, the losers are central to this. Luc Tremblay has argued that four questions dominate normative constitutional theory today: what is the purpose of a constitution? What makes a constitution legitimate? What kinds of argument are legitimate within the process of constitutional interpretation? What can make judicial review of legislation legitimate in principle? These questions have been kept in mind in reviewing the last year.
