A majority of 72 percent of respondents believed financial center Frankfurt, rather than rivals Dublin, Paris, or Amsterdam, would gain the most from Britain leaving the European Union, the study of 555 firms by consultants Ernst & Young (EY) found.

Why woulld companies move to Germany to have their women raped by culture enrichers? Britain has much to clean up, but Germany is worse. But, the left always thinks backwards from reality.
