Whatever the reasons for the Brexit Ltd members choosing to abstain, the fact is that they are paid to represent their constituents and the British People's interests, at the risk of offending a few supporters ( well, actually, I don't care if I offend you), very few of the Brexit people will have any idea of the intricacies of Foreign Office and diplomatic procedures, and to defend them by saying they didn't want to make things worse in a very delicate situation is a bit pathetic. What is more of a concern is the relationship between USA, specifically Trump, and the Brexit people, especially Farage, and part of me thinks that maybe he was considering this when he instructed his minions to abstain, but I seriously doubt it. Either way, this British citizen has not had support and it is shameful.
