520			_a"This book is concerned with the organisation, powers and accountability of government in the British constitution. It has always been written from a lawyer's perspective, modified by an awareness that the British constitution is far from being exclusively the handiwork of lawyers. Judges and other practitioners of the discipline of law have made a notable contribution to it, but so have political actors, controversialists of many hues, party organisations, peers, rebels in and out of Parliament and the legions of special interests. Yet lawyers sometimes pretend that the constitution is theirs, teaching and writing about it in myopic isolation. In updating this book, I have endeavoured to continue this tradition. Despite the fact that the UK constitution seems to have been continually in the news, studying the UK constitution can often seem strange and abstract to students. This book endeavours to make the UK constitution relevant, placing it in its historical context whilst also using contemporary examples to demonstrate how far the UK constitution has an impact on the daytoday lives of those living in the UK. It is impossible to understand the UK constitution without a grasp of the law, found in statutes and case law. It is equally impossible to understand the British constitution without an evaluation of constitutional principles and ideas, or of how the constitution operates in practice"-- _cProvided by publisher.
