A modest Cornish victory

[cornubian]

Mebyon Kernow has three good men, Dick Cole, Andrew Long and Stuart Cullimore, on the council and obtained around 17% of the vote in the 33 wards contested.

In the European elections the Party for Cornwall has achieved its best-ever 'national' election result. MK polled 11,534 votes (7% of the total) in the Cornish part of the South West Euro-constituency, pushing the Labour Party into sixth place in the Duchy. In many places in Mid and West Cornwall, MK was polling over 10%.When votes from the Isles of Scilly, Gibraltar and throughout the massive South West seat (including Bristol, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire) were added in, the MK total finished at 14,922 in front of Libertas, No2EU and a number of others.

A modest success but certainly to be built on.

Equally gratifying to see such pro-Cornish independents as Bert Biscoe (Cornish Constitutional Convention), Graeme Hicks, Julian German, Neil Plummer and Mark Kaczmarek, among others, elected. I'd love to see them join MK one day, but here's to them all working alongside the MK men for the good of the Cornish Nation.
