It doesn't have a codified constitution in the US sense but it does have a constitution:

Edit: I would certainly agree that having constitution in this form isn't a great idea...

Frankly, the US system isn't exactly a resounding vindication of written constitutions either. Arguably the UK system has displayed considerably greater flexibility. For example the US president is still basically an elected George III.
A written constitution doesn't really seem to work out better, though, does it?
