Mebyon Kernow has lunched its new website - Mebyon Kernow - The Party for Cornwall - and are looking for feedback on their polices. Please take the time to read what they have to say and then get in touch.

Mebyon Kernow – the Party for Cornwall is a modern and progressive political party, campaigning for a better deal for Cornwall and a fairer, more equitable World.

It is our belief that the historic nation of Cornwall, with its own distinct identity, language and heritage, has the same right to self-determination as Scotland and Wales. Mebyon Kernow is leading the campaign for the self-government of Cornwall, through the establishment of a legislative Assembly.

We will play our part in building a confident and outward-looking Cornwall, that has the power to take decisions for itself. To achieve this, our detailed policies are founded on the core values of prosperity for all, social justice and environmental protection.

PROSPERITY FOR ALL

Mebyon Kernow is committed to a society based on real equality of opportunity, helping people to achieve their full potential in life. We want Cornwall and its communities to be successful, with all residents sharing equally in that success through thriving businesses, worthwhile and secure employment, decent wages, access to genuinely affordable housing and good quality public services.

SOCIAL JUSTICE

The Party for Cornwall is committed to a just and fair society. We believe that effective public intervention is needed to combat poverty, tackle social deprivation and fight for the disadvantaged. We will strive to build strong inclusive communities with free and equal access to well-funded education, healthcare and welfare services, run for the benefit of everyone.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Safeguarding the environment is central to Mebyon Kernow's policies. The World faces severe environmental crises, which require radical action on a worldwide basis to promote real sustainability. Mebyon Kernow – the Party for Cornwall will not shirk from difficult decisions to protect and enhance the environment for future generations.

Their polices in great detail can be found here: Policies | Mebyon Kernow - The Party for Cornwall Please contact the party here: Contact Us | Mebyon Kernow - The Party for Cornwall
 
Nothing is served by a profusion of non-viable, mini-statelets injecting yet another level of bureaucracy into the body politic. A return to proper local government, an end to the move towards rule by quangoes and elected mayors and decentralisation of national government is what would serve Cornwall, and other English regions, much the better. It appears the people of Cornwall have little taste for nationalism given the 1.4% you boys posted at the last GE.
