UK Party Leaders Attack Banks, Bonuses and the City

LONDON, April 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- In a tense final debate before the UK general election, the three main party leaders attacked bankers and the City to gain votes while never mentioning the black hole in the public finances, says Robin Bew and Charles Jenkins at the Economist Intelligence Unit.

The GBP50bn shortfall in government finances was the elephant in the room that everybody ignored. The Economist Intelligence Unit doubts the scale of attacks on bonuses talked about by Liberal Democrat Party Leader Nick Clegg would ever come to pass as all parties realise how much the City still matters.
