Dr Gloom 21912 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 EU plans moving bank regulator from London as euro zone eyes City business http://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-finance-idUSKCN0ZC152 Coming a day after Britain's Jonathan Hill resigned and was replaced as EU financial services chief by the Commission's "Mr. Euro" Valdis Dombrovskis, the move underlines how the City of London can expect to be frozen out of EU financial regulation -- and possibly from Europe's capital markets -- depending on the terms of Brexit. While those who argued for Britain to leave the EU said the financial industry would thrive without EU shackles, some of its biggest employers including JPMorgan are scouring Europe to find new locations for their traders, bankers and financial licenses.

Dr Gloom 21912 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 but also who from the leave campaign is he quoting there? i genuinely don't think they expected to win. they certainly didn't prepare for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35063 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The problem is, without a valid alternative to the political establishment in terms of a party then cunts like Farage and UKIP are going to vacuum up any protest votes in a snap general election. As I've said before, we need more parties and PR so that people can engage with politics again and feel like they have a voice. Is there even a hint of that happening? Of course not.

Rayvin 5217 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 who from the leave campaign is he quoting there? i genuinely don't think they expected to win. they certainly didn't prepare for it. Agreed - but I don't know who is being quoted. I assumed IDS since his name is at the bottom in the bulletins, but it could be unrelated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35063 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The politicians who didn't want to leave should've done the planning for the ones who (claimed they) did. You couldn't make this shit up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and 90% of what was voted for isn't going to happen. Is this the most moronic political decision in the history of this country? Yes, I would say so.

I assumed IDS since his name is at the bottom in the bulletins, but it could be unrelated. I'd be surprised if it was IDS making that stark admission/allegation, more likely it'll be a more junior MP, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would PR not leave to more coalitions and more dirty deals (lib dems tuition fees)? Surely it's better to know when you vote what you're going to get.

As usual though, you miss the extremely obvious point here, i.e. that the politicians who were telling the public they should vote leave should have had a plan in place for that eventuality.
