Todays Guardian explains the working of the Duchy of Cornwall (The Prince of Cymru / Wales) and how the heir apparent can use perogative powers to determine what is in the national interest in terms of preserving his and whats termed 'the firms' wealth.
Said perogative powers need codification as part of any constitutional convention and second chamber reform as in other states there is only one head of state at a time. If it isn't too glib to say this perhaps those on teh civil list should form a council / trade union of their own and make collective recommendations based on the advice and discussions of the Privy Council and council of the Isles initiated by either the head of government or head of state (Prime Minister or The Queen repectively.
Then maybe canton by canton or ward and borough by borough, the cornish bits of Devon and Exter could by referendum accede to a democratically elected devolved territory of Cornwall within the Union.
