Abstract

The year 2022 saw significant constitutional developments. After 70 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II died and was succeeded as monarch by her son Charles. In terms of the exercise of executive power, the United Kingdom has had three Prime Ministers in 2022, which resulted from the internal Conservative party coup to remove Boris Johnson and the shortest serving British Prime minister, Liz Truss. What does this mean for constitutional law? Considering these events, 2022 ended with a new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who now needs to respond to calls for a second Scottish independence referendum, the Northern Ireland Protocol, and the future of the Human Rights Act 1998.
