The decision, by the Vote Leave Campaign, to exclude Nigel Farage from the negotiations, in Brussels, under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty is considered, by the undersigned, to be detrimental to the possible benefits to be achieved during the negotiations and an insult to many of the 17,410,742 people who voted to Leave the EU and to the thousands of UKIP members and supporters who campaigned for 4 months to help achieve this victory.

UKIP was, and still is, the only party united in their commitment to Brexit and Nigel Farage, as an MEP, has experience of the EU environment, the voice and the determination to achieve the best possible outcome for the UK.

Failure to include Nigel Farage, in the team, will be seen as a vindictive political act, by many people, and may result in a massive shift of Brexit voters to support UKIP, in the future.
