Rebel Euro MP Nikki Sinclaire Expelled by UKIP
Posted by lemon | Filed under HOT Issues
A Euro MP has been expelled from the UK Independence Party after refusing to be part of a multi-national group it has joined in the European Parliament.
‘May not stand’
Ms Sinclaire has refused to sit with her own party in European Parliament meetings since mid-January, citing the breakdown of her relationship with UKIP leader in Europe Nigel Farage and the “extreme views” of some of UKIP’s political allies.
She insisted she was not quitting the party, but UKIP’s National Executive Committee has removed the whip, reducing UKIP’s team of MEPs to 12.
A UKIP statement on Thursday said: “Nikki Sinclaire says that her political views are incompatible with those of some members of the EFD Group in the European parliament, of which the UKIP MEPs form part.
“So she has been sitting as an unattached MEP since 18 January 2010.
“She has also proved unable to collaborate adequately with the voluntary party in the UK, particularly with the regional committee in the West Midlands.
“The national executive committee has therefore removed the whip; Nikki Sinclaire may no longer describe herself as a UKIP MEP, and she may not stand as a UKIP candidate in the forthcoming general election.”
