Should a codified UK constitution include reform or attempt ...
The UK's constitution is not found in a single written document but is a combination of written laws, like the Magna Carta, Bill of Rights, and the Human Rights Act, and unwritten constitutional conventions that have developed over centuries. This "unwritten" system has evolved organically, incorporating statutes, conventions, and landmark court decisions, and includes elements such as the powers of Parliament, the monarchy, and the judiciary, as well as established unwritten rules governing the relationship between these branches of government

of course,

Parliamentaryism is a thin veneer.

The Monarch can dissolve the parliament at his leisure.

The stupidity is ending.

Long live the king.

Not "at leisure"... The King could only dissolve parliament if the Prime Minister requested it. The King cannot exercise absolute power, and hasn't been able to for centuries. The monarch in the UK is largely a ceremonial role and usually due to uprisings after previous monarchs tried to act as if they were King...

The king cannot, and just saying things doesn't mean you know things, it just means you assume powers he doesn't have. The rise of the House of Commons and the Glorious Revolution along with the Bill of Rights passed in the 1600s changed a good grip of their power back then. By the time King George was getting his butt kicked by Americans they had lost much of their own executive authority and had to beg parliament for laws. While our Declaration was all about George and what "he has" done, it was already a bit inaccurate. Since then they've enacted many laws that limit that authority, including one in 2022 which enacted a law that stated exactly what I said.

The King cannot dissolve Parliament except in one specific ceremony and only at the request of the Prime Minister.

wrong.
 
The monarch's prerogative power to dissolve Parliament was revived by the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act 2022, which also repealed the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011. By virtue of amendments made by the Dissolution and Calling of Parliament Act to Schedule 1 to the Representation of the People Act 1983, the dissolution of Parliament automatically triggers a general election.

Technically he can do whatever he wants. Britain does not have a written constitution, and the King has not agreed to a constitution.

That being said, tradition is that the King can only dissolve Parliament if ordered to by either the PM, or a no confidence vote. There would be hell to pay if King Charles dissolved Parliament.

That is what King Charles I thought, and he was executed for doing so. When King Charles III goes to Parliament, he is required to enter the building through only the Sovereign's Entrance, right next to a giant statue honoring the Cromwell who killed King Charles I.

If course it is; you're just a conspiracy nut, is all. They just amend theirs differently over time than we did.
 
Guess where many of our own Bill Of Rights Amendments came from? ....

Restoration and Replacement - Annals Britannica
The primary UK Bill of Rights refers to the Bill of Rights 1689, a foundational document of the UK constitution that limits the power of the monarchy and Parliament, established key liberties like free elections and parliamentary free speech, and affirmed rights such as freedom from cruel punishment and taxation without parliamentary consent. It arose from the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and was a statutory restatement of the Declaration of Right. In addition to the historical Bill of Rights 1689, discussions about a more modern UK Bill of Rights have occurred periodically, most recently with the proposed Bill of Rights Bill 2022, which aimed to replace the Human Rights Act 1998.


The Bill of Rights 1689
    • Purpose:
      To limit monarchical power and establish the sovereignty of Parliament.

  • Key Provisions:
      • Prohibited the monarch from suspending or dispensing with laws without Parliament's consent.

  • Ensured regular parliaments and free elections.

  • Guaranteed freedom of speech and debate in Parliament.

  • Prohibited taxation without parliamentary consent.

  • Outlawed cruel and unusual punishments and excessive bail.

  • Established the right of petition.

  • Prevented the raising of a standing army in peacetime without Parliament's consent.
  • Context:
    It followed the Glorious Revolution of 1688, when Parliament invited William of Orange to become king, displacing James II.

  • Significance:
    It is a fundamental part of the UK's uncodified constitution and served as a model for the US Bill of Rights.
A Modern UK Bill of Rights


    • Recent Proposals:
      There have been recent government proposals for a new Bill of Rights to replace the Human Rights Act 1998, most notably the Bill of Rights Bill of 2022.

  • Goals of the Proposed Bill:
      • To affirm parliamentary supremacy and the role of domestic courts.

  • To strengthen free speech and press rights by increasing the test for disclosing journalists' sources.

  • To limit the ability of public authorities to impose new human rights-related obligations.

  • To prevent the UK from being bound by interim measures from the European Court of Human Rights, such as the Rule 39 decision that prevented the removal flight to Rwanda.
  • Status:
    The Bill of Rights Bill was introduced in 2022 but its current status and future are subjects of ongoing debate, with the Law Society providing information on its reforms.
