A Conservative MEP in the south west says she's disappointed the party has withdrawn the whip after she supported a motion in Strasbourg that Brexit talks had not made sufficient progress.
Julie Girling says she's not a rebel and hasn't altered her beliefs.
Ms Girling and South East England MEP Richard Ashworth were suspended from the party after supporting a resolution in Strasbourg declaring that "sufficient progress" had not been made in the Brexit talks to move on to discussions on the future relationship between the UK and EU.
In a statement to BBC Radio Cornwall Ms Girling said she'd been active in the party for 40 years - 20 as an elected representative - and for 39 of those years the Conservative policy has been pro-Europe.
She added: "It's the party that's changed, not me, but that does not stop me feeling sadness that such a response (withdrawing the whip) was felt to be appropriate."

Falmouth campus student, 24-year-old Alex Welsford, said he feared it was part of a "lad culture" at the campus.

"It sort of goes against the spirit of what the moors are about."

Sam Simmonds' form could give Exeter a tough choice to make at number eight when Thomas Waldrom returns to fitness, says forwards coach Rob Hunter.
The 22-year-old scored in the 34-24 win over Newcastle to take his tally to eight tries in his past 12 games.
Simmonds has deputised for the injured Waldrom, who was the Premiership's top try-scorer in 2015 and 2016.

"When you start to have two guys threatening the defensive line like that it actually creates space for the others," Hunter added to BBC Radio Devon.
"We'll be working hard to see if we can get space to get them both on and hopefully both scoring."
