I though the constitution gave more power to the elected bits and less to the unelected bits? Or have I just been spun?

I can't even bring myself to read the whole Wikipedia entry on it.

If all it does is clarify and tidy up then I am happy to sign up, but who knows what it really does ?

I agree with Boxer on all the wasted resources for the parliament though.
