Petition Action

Tightly oversee the proposed modification of short selling regulations in the UK

Petition Details

I would like the House of Commons Treasury Committee to take a keen interest, and give the strongest consideration to the full implementation of regulations developed by the EU in response to the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, rather than to relax these regulations, as the EU recently voted to do

Additional Information

Market manipulation, by large financial institutions, has massive implications for businesses; often forcing them into bankruptcy with the associated harm to employees. The behaviour of these institutions, however, also has vast systemic financial implications.
Short Selling (SS) is a mechanism institutions use to make money at huge expense to others. Due to its current flagrant use, it now poses great systemic risk. Democratic oversight of the forthcoming revision of UK SS regulation is vital
