Knight Nigel Farage for services to democracy & make him Brexit Chief Negotiator

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Recommend Nigel Farage to her Majesty the Queen for a knighthood for having worked tirelessly and selflessly to restore democracy to the British people. The most articulate of UK politicians he has the required temerity, business background, and unrivaled experience of the EU to negotiate Brexit.

Nigel Farage, the People’s Politician, can be credited with at least having played a large part in causing UK voters to be given their say on EU membership and the resulting Brexit. A former commodity broker, he was a co-founder of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) which he now leads, and has been a SE England MEP since 1999. He has reintroduced UK political debate being based on facts rather than soundbites and was named “Briton of the Year” by The Times in 2014.
