Rejected petition Create a Devolved Assembly for Cornwall

Rejected on 21 July 2021

The Cornish people are now recently recognised as an ethnic minority within the United Kingdom much like the Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish, they have their own language, culture, history and even patron saint. It’s time for Cornwall to have it’s own assembly and become its own nation.

Cornwall has a Celtic cultural identity separate from that of England and that the Cornish people have a national, civic or ethnic identity separate from that of English people. Cornwall should be granted a degree of devolution or autonomy, in the form of a Cornish national assembly.
