Mebyon Kernow exists to win greater self-government for the nation of Cornwall through our own legislative Parliament, similar to Wales and Scotland.
Starmer's version of Labour will re-impose Tory housing targets in Kernow (Cornwall).
Without a Cornish parliament & devolved housing/planning (& to whom that housing is allocated) Cornish housing stock will be purchased by 2nd homers & holiday homes.
