A Guide to Brexit Lobbying On 23 June 2016 the British people voted to leave the EU. The danger is that they have ‘taken back control’ only to hand it over to corporate lobbyists. Brexit presents business with an abundance of threats, but also to some unimaginable opportunities. As one corporate lobbyist recently noted: “Nothing I’ve seen in the last couple of decades comes close to this opportunity for legislative influence” . The Great Repeal Bill and its aftermath have been described as “a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for anyone looking to influence the rules of the game”. Whether that is getting rid of laws and regulations inherited from Europe, including labour standards, influencing trade policy, or reshaping UK agriculture. Any company, or sector that can swing the rules in their favour stands to profit enormously. Which is why we think we should be able to see who is seeking to use Brexit to further their own private interests. This portal is an attempt to make visible those that bankrolled various Brexit campaigns, the lobby groups that are now trying to influence government and steer debate, as well as the companies and the lobbyists-for-hire that are hoping to profit from Brexit. |
