Meghnad Desai loves to cook, watch and write about old Bollywood movies and shuttles between London, Delhi and Goa. He pursues controversies on economics, history and anything else which catches his attention. He is also a British parliamentarian sitting in the House of Lords. He has written over 25 books, over 200 articles in learned journals and hundreds of newspaper columns in UK and India.
Out of my mind: A bloodless revolution
Prime Minister Theresa May has practically lost control of her party and been defeated three times over her principal proposal. But she cannot be made to resign nor can she call an election as in the old days.
How do you amend an unwritten Constitution? The British Constitution has been amended over the centuries at crucial moments by action of Parliament, and even there by the elected chamber. The House of Lords prides itself as the body which will caution the House of Commons to think again. But when push comes to shove, it is the House of Commons.
