Almost one in five U.K. companies favor Britain pulling out of the European Union because it would have a positive impact on their business, according to a survey.
The British Chambers of Commerce said today its polling of 4,387 companies showed 18 percent say full withdrawal from the EU could have a positive impact, while 33 percent favor pulling out and renegotiating a free-trade deal. The biggest majority, 64 percent, back Prime Minister David Cameron’s approach of remaining inside the 27-nation union while repatriating some powers.
