Parliamentary Supremacy - Public Law Free Video Tutorial

It was really interesting to listen to. Thank you!

Ok, less than 20 seconds in and this 'tutorial' is already wrong: the area of parliamentary sovereignty does NOT form the essence of the British constitution; it forms the essence of the the ENGLISH constitution. Scottish law does not recognize parliamentary sovereignty; under Scots law, the people, not the parliament, are supreme.

@Dabhach1

I don't think you're right. You see, the Scotland Act 1998 expressly provides that it 'does not affect the power of the Parliament of the UK to make laws for Scotland' (s.28(7)). So the area of parliamentary sovereignty does form the essence of the British constitution.

@radjuga "The principle of unlimited sovereignty of Parliament is a distintively English principle and has no counterpart in Scottish constitutional law." Lord Cooper, Lord President of the Inner House of the Court of Session, the supreme Scottish civil court, in MacCormick v Lord Advocate 1953
