Ever since Magna Carta, more than 800 years ago, the rule of law has been the very cornerstone of our Constitution. As Conservatives, we stand for democracy and the rule of law. Our independent courts and legal systems are respected throughout the world.
One of the great strengths of our constitution is its ability to evolve. And now, that need is greater than ever. The failure of parliament to deliver Brexit has opened up a destabilising and damaging rift between politicians and the people – and further referendums on Brexit and Scottish independent would make things worse.
