Right now, Islamic State stalks the Middle East; Russia openly threatens to overturn the post-World War II order; an economic and political crisis threatens to change Europe forever; and Britain wants to do what America did back in the 1780s—sit down and figure out how to govern itself. It’s like trying to rebuild a slightly problematic car engine. Get it right and it’ll run better. But rush it or mess up, and you’re left with a car that might burst into flames on the road. Meanwhile the rest of the world speeds by while Britain is busy tinkering. Marry in haste, repent at leisure, as the adage goes, also applies to constitutions. As Trumpet columnist Brad Macdonald wrote ahead of the referendum, Britain has no idea why it exists or why it should remain together. The Scottish referendum was a symptom of that identity crisis. Now the nation has decided it is not sure it likes the way it is governed either—Britain is gripped by a full-blown existential crisis. Britain is not in a good position, but there is good news.
