The proportion of the UK’s financial services exports that go to the EU have dropped significantly in the past decade. We should be opening ourselves up to opportunities in fast-growing markets, not getting bogged down in European bureaucracy and stasis. The EU Single Market system is hugely influenced by the lobbying of big established companies but it is in Britain’s interests to encourage entrepreneurs and new industries. We don’t want to be part of a system that props up politically powerful corporations at the expense of new businesses that help consumers.
