Cllr Dulcie Tudor is worried how the English would feel if Cornwall is declared a nation of the UK.
How do the Cornish feel now, Councillor? We don’t have the same rights as other minorities. Our language isn’t protected. We aren’t allowed a census tickbox. Is this OK to you?

Our MPs can place amendments to the bill but unless the government accepts them, they won’t stand a chance. And there’s no reason the government would, unless it recognises the importance of minority status.

Our national minority status remains the strongest argument as to why Cornwall should be treated differently - deciding how we are governed is our right as a nation.

Cornwall wants higher levels of devolution, but without a mayor.
As a national minority it’s our right to choose how we are governed, not to be held hostage by arbitrary requirements.
