I presume he's referring to the United Kingdom's constitution.

The one which isn't worth the paper it's not written on?

Yes - but there isn't such a thing ! And the unwritten one certainly hasn't anything to which tax policies can "adhere to".
(In the stuff on the website, reference is made to something called the E.E.C - what a political party this is going to turn out to be - set up by someone who doesn't have a clue about politics)

Well, it depends what you mean by 'worth' - personally I'm inclined to agree with Cicero that the law is worth very little when it comes to actual force, but is instead a normative device and an implicit social contract. In these cases, suggesting any law is more valuable than any other seems ridiculous.
As for being written on paper, it most certainly is. In fact, it's written on a hell of a lot more paper than virtually any other constitution on earth being a combination of precedent, authoritative and scholarly writings, statutes, agreements, declarations...

Yes there is. I've read plenty of books on it in my time and I'm fairly sure I didn't just imagine them.

True enough. I believe in essence what he was saying is that they'd agree with the overarching spirit or tradition of the constitution - which focuses on individual liberty etc.

I presume the implication is that he would like to see the European Community become strictly economic again. I suppose it's rather fanciful - a bit like calling what is legally a devolved executive a "government" perhaps?

From the party's constitution
4.1 Membership will be open to British citizens whether living in this country or abroad and EEC citizens who reside in Great Britain.

^ Meanwhile our fellow Commonwealth and Irish citizens in the UK can presumably go hang?

I think you'll find Ireland is a member of the EU/EEC.
