"Goldman Sachs has suggested that it would "drastically" cut its UK operations if Britain left the European Union."

Goldman Sachs said:
"We anticipate that we would shift a significant portion of our European business from London to a location within the euro zone. The two most likely locations would be Frankfurt and Paris."

Only problem is I don't believe them. The German government in particular wouldn't let them get away with their sort of shenanigans. I couldn't see German taxpayers getting ripped off over the privatisation of an important asset like Royal Mail for example.
 
What do you mean by "Finally". There have been/are plenty of reasons for leaving the EU prior to this.
 
I very much doubt it.

It's only since the EU threatened to take some control over the City of London that our political class have started being anti-EU (outside of UKIP etc), before then it was unthinkable to even talk about leaving.
 
No we are not going to leave EU, forget about it.....

UK is very close with USA and if we leave many American corporations aka goldman sachs will lose ridiculous amounts of money cause as stated above, you wont get away with such shenanigans in other European countries.

Of-course if you believe in democracy everything will work out great :) It will be same story as Royal Mail, no one gives a doodle what you think.
 
Nothing like leaving the EU to make us a political and financial backwater. We definately need to renegotiate our membership but the fact is without the EU our foreign investment would probably take a massive hit or dry up almost completely when companies like Goldman Sachs leave. Politically we'd also lose a lot of power when we lose our ability to have a significant say and veto in the EU.

I don't really like the EU but it's a neccesary evil. I'm just worried that the uneducated masses will vote for us to leave as we'd be much worse off in the global economy, even to such an extent that we will look back at the last recession as a time of plenty.
 
If you really think losing big financial institutions is a positive thing, you're deluded
