Law, how does the doctrine of separation of powers now appy to the constitution of UK?

Answer 1

The doctrine requires the Executive(government),the Judiciary, Parliament and the Monarch to be independant of each other.The Prime Minister and the Cabinet are part of both the government and parliament, whitch does create an a anomaly,but no great problem.Occassionaly,also, the judiciary does make law, whitch is parliament's job but again the separation works successfully.The UK does not ,of course, have a written constitution,but rather, many conventions.It all works because we are relatively civilised.

Answer 2

Again we have no written constitution. The separation of powers is applied by the Judiciary and the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The former in the way the Laws passed by parliament are applied ( this bunch do not like that )
and the Members of parliament are supposed to bring the Executive to account. This at the moment is a case of Labour Turkeys voting for Christmas or the House of Lords is supposed to bring in wise amendments or reject the more stupid acts. It is tending to be under siege at the moment because this government believes that they rule by divine right. This is why we need a change of government, not that the next mob wil be any better

Answer 3

I didn't think the UK had a constitution, with Israel we are the only nations to be without.

As in the doctrine of seperation of powers I suppose it's really just up to the government, just like everything else :S

Answer 4

we do have a consitution but it is not codified .
as for the seperation of powers you will need to be more precise with your question.
I mean the queen is head of the church and head of state.
bishops sit in the house of lords the list goes on.
