As everyone knows, the UK has no written constitution. It has a dog’s dinner of convention instead.
One such convention is that we have a prime minister. They are the person, supposedly selected by the monarch, who has most chance of commanding the confidence of the House of Commons, meaning that they can form a government.
This week Rishi Sunak may not be able to demonstrate that the House has that confidence in him on an issue that he claims is sufficiently important to require emergency legislation.
Where would failure leave Rishi Sunak? In the dog’s dinner, I suspect.
The only problem is, I also suspect there is no one else able to command that confidence.
As I have said before, a new year’s election anyone?
