Mebyon Kernow – The Party for Cornwall is a political party with a difference
- We exist to win greater self-government for Cornwall through our own legislative Parliament.
- We believe that the historic nation of Cornwall, with its own distinct identity, language and heritage, has the same right to self-determination as the other constituent parts of the UK, such as Scotland and Wales.
- Mebyon Kernow is a progressive party and we are striving to build a confident and outward-looking Cornwall that has the power to take decisions for itself.
Some of the views of Mebyon Kernow are included here as the party represents Cornwall alone for the benefit of Cornish people and allow it to share its views which might be lost due to the higher profile UK national parties.
