This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition That the United Kingdom secedes from the EU and sets it's own financial trading levy at half of the EU rate
More details
The Government is concerned that a Financial Transaction levy (Tobin tax) proposed by the EU will disproportionately affect the UK as a large percentage of EU Finance is carried out in the City of London.
The present financial recession has been caused by reckless Financial Trading yet the Traders appear to be least affected by it.
The majority of people in the UK wish for a referendum on secession from the EU. It is required that the secession occurs and that the UK institutes it's own levy at 50% of the proposed EU level, thereby keeping a financial edge for the UK but off-setting any financial loss caused by secession.
