Cornwall national rugby team/all other sports

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

I'm a young cornish man who wants to have a team to support, now cornwall is a national minority we are meant to have the same rights as Scotland, Wales and Ireland, I'd love to turn my TV on and see cornwall playing national rugby and football! Please share this and help cornwall on its next step!

Cornwall should have a national rugby/football team because we now have the same recognition and Wales, Scotland and Ireland, we are also getting a 10,000 seater stadium, we have won the county championships twice in a row, showing we will stand our ground, Iceland has a population of over 100,000 less than Cornwall and look what they achieved! This would be a great moment in Cornwall's history, so all of us Cornish could sit down and be proud of a team and actually support a team! Please share

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
