A written constitution sets things in stone. That’s okay… until the everyday realities change.
Just my opinion but, the way the UK does things at the moment is much more flexible. However it could do with a system for abolishing out-of-date, or updated laws.
I think the only way to really get a feel for whether it would be a good idea is if a detailed proposal was made. Everything else is just made on feelings.
Over the past few years we’ve seen the problems with letting simple majorities make country shattering decisions, lack of actual rules allowing ministers to come dangerously close to subverting democracy, and just general opportunity for corruption.
I don’t like the idea of more layers of representation - as far as I’m familiar, I feel like having a councillor and then an MP is fine. But I probably would support the idea that the MP is from the council stock, rather than being someone parachuted in.
But it could be a good first step.

Well, I definitely think that UK governance needs root and branch reform.
