If poll results hold four years from now, we may soon find Frankfurt as the new financial capital of Europe:

Poll: Only 1-in-3 wants UK to stay in EU

By Jim Pickard, FT.com
February 18, 2013 -- Updated 0300 GMT (1100 HKT)


(Financial Times) -- David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg have an uphill struggle before any EU referendum according to a poll that says only one in three would vote to stay in the bloc.

The findings, which are likely to spark alarm in pro-European circles, suggest that anti-Brussels sentiment is sweeping through the British public.

Given an in-out referendum on EU membership tomorrow, 50 per cent would vote "out" against 33 per cent "in" and 17 per cent who would not vote either way, according to the poll by Harris Interactive for the Financial Times.

Mr Cameron, who had resisted calls to hold a referendum, finally bowed to pressure last month by promising that a Tory government would do so in 2017.

I would still bet that the staying in camp wins in the end.

Once every major party as well as Unions and Big Businesses get behind the 'Stay In' campaign, then we will see the polls shift big time.

For the record, I would vote to remain in.

Much like AV, the establishment will make sure they get the answer they want, so don't worry.

(I wouldn't voted No on AV and would vote to stay in the EU, just as a side note).
