Blueprint Politics vs Uncodified Constitutions

A technocratic, 'blueprint' approach to reform allows a parliamentary majority to reshape local government and electoral practice by exploiting the procedural flexibility of an uncodified constitution. When a ruling party pursues efficiency‑driven redesigns (postponing elections, centralizing functions) in the name of good governance, it can produce substantive erosions of civic liberties even without formal constitutional amendment. — Alerts democracies with flexible, uncodified constitutional rules that majoritarian administrative reforms framed as efficiency can become tools for centralizing power and undermining electoral participation.
