Historically, the Conservative party has avoided any type of written constitution, arguing that it forces the will of today onto future generations. However, with debt at its current level we are, in effect, doing just that; forcing upon our children and grandchildren a legacy of high tax, high debt and subjugation to the countries to whom we are indebted, such as China and Russia. It’s time to recognise debt as the constitutional instrument that it is, and subject it to a super-majority vote.
