In addition to the political parties, there are various interest groups such as the [[Revived Cornish Stannary Parliament]] and the [[Celtic League]]. The Cornish Constitutional Convention was formed in 2000 as a cross-party organisation including representatives from the private, public and voluntary sectors to campaign for the creation of a [[Cornish Assembly]],<ref name="autogenerated1">{{Cite news |date=11 December 2001 |title=Blair gets Cornish assembly call |work=BBC News |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/1704112.stm |url-status=live |access-date=22 May 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080702115621/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/1704112.stm |archive-date=2 July 2008}}</ref><ref name=ccc>{{cite web |author=Cornish Constitutional Convention |url=http://www.cornishassembly.org/about.htm |title=Campaign for a Cornish Assembly β Senedh Kernow |publisher=Cornishassembly.org |date=3 April 2005 |access-date=25 September 2010 |archive-date=23 August 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140823151946/http://cornishassembly.org/about.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> along the lines of the [[National Assembly for Wales]], [[Northern Ireland Assembly]] and the [[Scottish Parliament]]. Between 5 March 2000 and December 2001, the campaign collected the signatures of 41,650 Cornish residents endorsing the call for a devolved assembly, along with 8,896 signatories from outside Cornwall. The resulting petition was presented to the Prime Minister, [[Tony Blair]].<ref name="autogenerated1" />
