Demonstrations in Poland in defence of democracy. [2554]
If the UK can function quite nicely without a formal written constitution so too can Poland without a special separate tribunal to evalaute constitutionality.
The legal systems of the two countries make direct comparisons fatuous.
And think of the reduction of bureaucracy that would allow! Sadly, none of the major parties are truly interested in slashing red tape and cutting down on organisational units
It's not in the interest of any political party in any country to actually cut down on bureaucracy because that would increase the unemployment rate. The combination of outsourcing to cheapter countries and massive increases in automation are having (and will continue to have) horrific effects on employment. Maintaining employment by the state is a conscioius tactic pursued by all political actors to help hide the true scope of unemployment (as is the need for more and more people to go to university).
A major problem that no one wants to think about is how to maintain some semblance of normalcy in a future in which a lot of people serve no productive purpose (as in there's no work they can do that machines and/or outsourced third-worlders can't do better and/or cheaper). Look up "Potomkin company" for one possible outcome.
And remember that major financial actors could not be doing this without the active and enthusiastic participation of the citizens in the countries who are and will be hit hardest by this. Liquid capital and technology devastating employment is not some conspiracy by a few elites, it's the result of billions and billions of market choices made by everyday people.
