Comments on: Business for Britain’s suggestions remind us of why we are pro-European 2014/01/23/business-for-britains-suggestions-remind-us-of-why-we-are-pro-european/ London MEP European Parliament Tue, 01 Mar 2016 17:00:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Daniel Oxley 2014/01/23/business-for-britains-suggestions-remind-us-of-why-we-are-pro-european/#comment-19443 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 11:48:05 +0000 ?p=22281#comment-19443 That big business is in favour of the EU is not surprising and it should not be assumed that an economy favourable to big business is good for ordinary people. Large companies in the UK are given, thanks to unlimited immigration from the EU, a large pool of workers who will work for the lowest wages and will tolerate poor treatment because jobs are scarce. The EU also helps big business by giving it great advantages over small business. Financial resources and economies of scale make compliance with regulation relatively easy for very large companies but small companies are destroyed by it. They can’t afford teams of compliance officers or lobbyists in Brussels and so small businesses are taken over by larger ones. Global business and the political class are now practically the same thing.

The modern EU is not for democracy, but for big business.
