There is actually a cornish independence movement that threatend a terror campaign not so long ago, but nobody could figure out if they were serious or just jocking. I guess as nothing exploded they were joking, but if you ever go to cornwall it's not that uncommon to hear people bitching about the English in the same way you would in Wales or Scotland.


I thought the Cornish question has been solved 1549: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_Book_Rebellion

The reason is quite simple to understand: European affairs are of monstrous complexity. Just compare the US-constitution with the EU-Treaties:

to get a taste of the complexity.
