Vayutuvanji, I wonder and personally I think it will be interesting to see how things play out. When constitutions of India or US were written or not as in case of UK, the implicit assumption was that the people in various pillars of power would be a so called landed gentry or upper class or basically gentlemen. So only the very minimal checks and balances were put in (inspite of US tomtoming its much vaunted safeguards inherent in their system of government) . There was never a consideration where a Orange man types would come in, subvert the judiciary and legislature try to become above all. He hasn’t succeeded yet of course (despite what Dems say) but he is on that path. He could do that because of another peculiar aspect of US polity: essentially two party system. So people are forced to go with one or the other even if they don’t agree with both…Vayutuvan wrote: ↑01 Oct 2025 22:20
It can be changed but it is difficult. It should be. At least they, France, India, etc. have a written constitution to change,
UK has a few phataahua documents like magna carta, historical precedence, powedered wigs, hereditary house of lords and head of state. If some bozos say there is a constitution crisis, everybody runs around screaming c crisis c crisis. They want Charles III to intervene. Politicos, “constipation” egg spurts and politicos get lot of TV FaceTime. Finally they declare it has been avoided. Then everybody goes back to their clubs and to their town houses in London to have a go at their mistresses. Mohammedan grooming gangs continue to rape poor white brutishiter.![]()
The UK hasn’t faced an orange man type scenario yet: Farage is the cheap temu version of Trump, and polls show he may become the PM if polls were held now, but polls are 3 years away. Plus judicial subversion is not really a thing in UK like in US where one can stack judges. Still, absent a constitution and a huge reliance on precedents in case law : does it means in theory an Orange man scenario is easier? I don’t know. Plus UK has more parties…
In India, the sheer amount of parties and their street power means orange man scenarios are difficult to pull off. Yes Indira did it for 2 years but really, it wasn’t sustainable and I doubt if it is possible now with the huge population. It worked for Indira as cops to police ratio was high and GoI was the only game in town for everything…
I guess I am rambling and off topic…
