MK have been avoiding the issue of the ultimate goal of Cornish Devolution and your insistence on Cornish Assembly, rather than Cornish Parliament in an Independent country has allowed the opposition to dilute, bypass and emasculate even the meek proposals put forward by MK.<br />Be realistic, propose radical alternative. After all, your current strategy is failing spectacularly. Here are a few ideas:<br /><br />I have a dream ... <br /><br />Independent Cornish Republic with a non-politician president and proportionally elected Parliament, written constitution and policies such as these:<br /><br />1. Aim for sustainability, self-sufficiency and resilience<br />2. Stop burning fossil fuels (cars, trucks, planes, electricity, public transport, manufacturing)<br />3. Aim for 100% renewable energy, incl subsidies for less well developed systems and storage systems<br />4. Aim for near 100% self-sufficiency in food. Target farming subsidies at sustainable agriculture and not at shooting estates or hill farming<br />5. Re-forest Moors for fuel, construction material and biodiversity<br />6. Reclaim 200 mile fishing limit and establish large no-fishing zones for stock recovery<br />7. Allow Cornish Sterling to fall: expensive imports => fewer imports => more local production<br />8. Set a minimum tax rate for all companies operating in Cornwall and charge excess if taxed elsewhere at a lower rate.<br />9. Set a maximum ratio of lowest to average to top salaries at about 10 times by taxing anything above that at 95%<br />10. Set a maximum asset value owned by any one individual<br />11. All assets to be owned only by Cornish passport holders. Cornish nationality to be exclusive - so everyone has to choose<br />12. Tax all companies on the basis of their world wide profits scaled down to Cornish turnover<br />13. Aim for economic and population de-growth<br />14. Consider introducing Basic Income<br /><br />Now that the breakup of the UK is on the cards, maybe we can start the journey from a dream to reality<br /><br />PaulShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950667089993693587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560105223161792779.post-46494460106258639642016-06-25T21:30:08.480+01:002016-06-25T21:30:08.480+01:00Thanks for a measured and sensible reaction to a r...Thanks for a measured and sensible reaction to a result that disappointed you, Mr Cole.<br />I was disappointed that MK took the stance to support remain and I hope they now accept that the Cornish people didn't agree. Labour have ignored their grass roots supporters and supported remain, a big mistake. The Conservatives did the same and many of their supporters voted out.<br />MK need to become more in touch with Cornish voters if they want people to vote for them. I was probably going to vote MK next time as I am completely disillusioned with Cameron and his pathetic attempts to justify his EU reforms, which amounted to virtually nothing. Corbyn did the same, abandoning his principles to toe the party line.<br />MK should have seen what was going to happen in Cornwall, with fishermen and farmers completely let down by the EU. Keep fighting for Cornwall.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04435620889389545548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560105223161792779.post-7973065942670318472016-06-25T14:51:05.945+01:002016-06-25T14:51:05.945+01:00Unfortunately.

The reason Cornish rejected the EU despite bribes is because its not sustainable. Think back to the famous Grafiti on Crofty: "what are cornish men to do?" <br /><br />Without the EU, traditional trades can come back and Cornwall if independent has the opportunity to offer tax incentives for business (pref Green tech to start). <br /><br />We reject westminster as it is remote, the EU was further away. A new constitutional settlement for Britain provides an opportunty for Cornish to get more of a say! <br /><br />Listen to locals who voted leave and why... A cornish assembly can tackle their concerns.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11213382729970778097noreply@blogger.com
