Add a tick box for "Cornish" in the 2031 census for national identity question

Petition Details

To add a "Cornish" tick box to the 2031 census for the question on national identity. Instead of Cornish people being forced to write it in the "Other" category.

Additional Information

The government needs to be comfortable acknowledging a Cornish nation as the movement grows stronger. Adding a Cornish tick box would be a further acknowledgement of that movement and of our belief that Cornwall is the 5th nation of the UK. It would also allow for the Cornish minority to further distinguish themselves and further education on the Cornish identity, as education of what it is is still shockingly low in Cornwall. The tick box would allow for more people to know what they are.
