‘Part of the debate around accountability in the UK concerns the judiciary and its relationship with the elected parts of government. A potentially useful concept in assessing this relationship is constitutionalism. This post is a summary of my presentation at the recent UKCLA Conference in Liverpool, in which I engaged with some long-running debates around constitutionalism. I argue here that there is a version of constitutionalism, which I term “moderate constitutionalism”, that is normatively desirable and suited to the UK’s constitutional tradition. After discussing the situation of constitutionalism in the UK and setting out the case for moderate constitutionalism, I identify some possible implications of the analysis for the system of government in the UK. What is presented here is an early sketch, at a high level, of an account that I intend to develop in significantly greater detail in the future.’
