Cornwall Council's Feb 2003 MORI poll showed 55% in favour of an elected, fully-devolved regional assembly for Cornwall (Previous result :46% in favour in 2002).

Why? Is this a burning issue in Cornwall?

Have you asked them about their view on Darkie Day also? If not, why not?

So what? No doubt Devonshire County Council would secure a similar result for Devonshire.

Perhaps Cornish citizens thought they were supporting a regional assembly? If so, it would call into question the alleged opposition to the EU which is vigorously promoting these assemblies!

It should be a burning issue for all British political parties!

The results of the poll are contested. The District Councils (which are facing the axe due to the Unitary Authority coming into being next year) conducted their own polls, which showed massive opposition.

UKIP Cornwall | Unitary Authority to go ahead - Despite Massive Opposition.

I doubt it will be long before Darkie Day is stopped permanently.

I would not dispute that, but why ask those questions in a Cornish context? Is this thread not about the Liberals in Cornwall? Have I missed a trick?

I notice you've ducked the other 'Cornish' matter I raised!

If Conwall had a real Nationalist party much like MK was back in the 1970's it would do very well.

It really wouldn't. Cornish 'nationalism' is restricted to miners and ne'er-do-wells. There isn't much appetite for it - you'd probably have to go to the far-flung western villages to find people sympathetic to the cause.

An anti-immigration and anti-EU Nationalist party would likely take 20% of the Cornish vote in it's first attempt.
Even back in 1979 on a similar manifesto it took 10%.
