'Brice Dickson argues that now, post Brexit, our constitution needs to cement the Union. He's right. We don't need a fully written constitution, but we do need seriously to address and respond to the forces that are pulling the four home nations apart. The United Kingdom's survival depends on it.' Adam Tomkins MSP, Professor of Law, University of Glasgow -- .

Adam Tomkins MSP, Professor of Law, University of Glasgow 'The turmoil surrounding Brexit has caused many to doubt whether the UK's uncodified constitution is still fit for purpose. Brice Dickson plausibly suggests that a new, federal constitutional settlement may offer a way forward. Here we have a masterly essay by a highly respected constitutional analyst, who possesses the rare gift of elucidating complex issues without ever dumbing them down.' Gavin Drewry, Emeritus Professor of Public Administration, Royal Holloway, University of London 'In recent years, a number of jurists and academics have argued that Britain needs to follow almost every other democracy by enacting a codified constitution. Are they right? The debate is likely to intensify after Brexit. Writing the United Kingdom Constitution offers an excellent introduction to the issues.' Vernon Bogdanor, Professor of Government, Kings College London, author of Beyond Brexit: Towards a British Constitution -- .
