Markets Welcome Tory Victory, But Will It Lead The UK Out Of The EU?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The Conservatives win a slim majority in Britain's election - but should the world of finance be rejoicing? Our reporter Dominic Laurie heads to the City to find out. We hear from business leaders on whether the prospect of a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU is beneficial or damaging to their bottom line. And we ask a leading political analyst how the polls - which predicted a hung Parliament and no overall majority - got it so very wrong, and what this means for the polling business. Plus, a roundup of the week's business news with Megan Murphy, the FT's Washington Bureau Chief, and Charles Forelle of the Wall Street Journal in London.
