Thread Name: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
Subject: RE: BS: Post Brexit life in the UK
I periodically have talks with myself about winning the lottery. This does not mean it is going to happen. Business will go where the rewards are greatest, It is as simple as that. Should the EU bring about a uniform taxation system it ia anybodies guess as to where the preferred location WOULD be.
   I would argue the only reason that financial services would relocate from London would be because the EU created a more attractive profit regime. This will need clearly defined nuts and bolts in place before anything will happen.So far all we see is wishful thinking. The EU is also taking a close look at Ireland and it's perceived status as a perceived tax haven. How does the potential closure of that loophole equate with attracting financial services from London. It is total delusion. (I presume this is what we are talking about).

The vote on equal rights had it failed would maintain freedom of movement, refugees and all. The vote was totally in line with the sentiment of the labour heartlands so no conflict occurred between mp's and their electorate.
