Couldn't tell you what UKIP's policy is (if they have one), but IMO the Stannary Parliament is nothing more than a joke, to be treated no more seriously than those who spray-paint over English Heritage Roses.
I also don't agree about the 'strong calls' - Mebyon Kernow poll less in General Elections in Cornish constituencies than UKIP do.
If Cornwall were to get devolution along the lines of Scotland/Wales I'd want a new body - not the Stannary Parliament - to be behind it.
Personally, I'd much prefer for all County Councils in England (or where applicable, Unitary Authorities) to be granted greater powers, instead of creating more institutions.
