| - While in power the Conservatives cut the Council's spending and taxes which while picked up by the private sector mostly. The Conservatives passed the rules and regulations for referendums within the settlement limits, that a referendum would be used for any issue which seemed to need the consent of the people, in addition 30 days time minimum would be given for voters to decide and then vote. A minimum of 50% of the franchise would need to turn out to vote and then at least 50% of that electorate would need to approve it for it to become law. The Conservatives passed the first ever referendum in Cornwall's history the Cornwall naming referendum, 1929 where voters decided to drop the "New" in "New Cornwall", replacing old signs and just having the settlement's name as Cornwall. It was passed for economic reasons to create new signs through some form of minute stimulus, and cultural reasons. In January of 1930 unemployment was 6.9% before it skyrocketed up towards 30%. In 1932 it dropped back down to 26%, as some of the population had left Corwall. In 1933 poverty in the settlement reached 45% with no social welfare and no economic management. The Conservatives tried cutting taxes more trying to create better economic conditions, the Income tax rate was set to 1.5%, which was only imposed on the richest of citizens, and 0.6% property tax. The unpopular government led to the Progressives and Moderates forming a coalition in the Cornwall Council elections, 1934.
