There may be many Devon residents who would prefer to live in a separate Cornwall with government far closer to them and their needs than London is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704781587266395905.post-5693935545103074312010-11-03T10:44:53.439+00:002010-11-03T10:44:53.439+00:00The inclusion of Devon in Cornish constituencies w...The inclusion of Devon in Cornish constituencies would undermine Mebyon Kernow.
