While all political party representatives were invited, the organisers chose to exclude Nigel Farage to maintain the event's focus on farming issues, avoiding divisive politics.
Olly Harrison stated that they wanted to avoid political point-scoring, emphasizing that the event was focused on farmers and their challenges.
A source close to Farage suggested that the organisers bowed to pressure from the Conservative party, which sought to dominate the event.
Farmers expressed their desire for the protest to remain unpolitical, particularly concerning unpopular inheritance tax changes affecting those with over 1 million in assets.
