not just the governments. top CEO's with huge lobbying power influence all that stuff. no wonder lots of them wanted brexit and donated to the leave cause. I imagine they want the UK to become a low regulation tax haven just like the islands where their money is stored.
I think if that happens then there will suddenly be a large influx of monies back into onshore funds. that'll be good PR that will be.
