what a lucid and erudite "retiree". Lord Sumption should have continued on. Thank you for this video!

Regarding our previous membership of the EU, over the 25 years we were EU members, 50,000 EU laws were added to UK law. In Jonathan Sumption's argument against over regulation, I do not understand why he seemed to regret the UK leaving the EU..

Activism is always bad long-term.

Adopting moral behaviours for the good of society is mentioned in religious scriptures.

I think the good Lord mis-understands the Alito judgment, it simply said that the matter was not within the scope of the Federal Government. In terms of proroguing Parliament, that has always been a matter for the Crown, it simply calls a Parliament to levy taxes and pass laws. If proroguing Parliament is not part of 'proceedings in Parliament', what is it? It was clearly judicial activism, the Supreme Court violated the Bill of Rights by impugning proceedings in Parliament.

That simplistic interpretation of parliament, and it’s ultimate sovereignty overlooks the centuries of convention that now form the backbone of the constitution.
