Osborne backs Obama bank reforms
Discussion

'George Osborne, the shadow chancellor, has just told me that Obama's plan to break up the banks is consistent with the views he expressed in his recent bank reform paper.
His condition for implementing such a radical plan was that it needed international agreement.
Well, he has got that now. So he has told me - explicitly - that a Tory government would impose an identical dismantling of British banks to those suggested by President Obama.'
What is Osborne thinking?

Obama's reforms are being discussed there, but I thought Osborne's (future Chancellor's) banking policy worthy of discussion on its own merits.http://www.pistonheads.com/Gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... bank regulation

Not sure what, if anything, Osborne has done to enhance the Tories, especially over the last 12-18 months during which he ought to have had a field day with Darling/Brown.
Need Hague to gain more prominence quickly.
Isn't Osborne one of the key strategists behind the scene?Need Hague to gain more prominence quickly.
