Only 10 days after UK broke out of European Union’s umbrella, British politicians did not reach a formula for this step, after parliamentarians rejected agreement reached by Prime Minister with leaders of EU for the fourth time, to increase frustration among business leaders & companies globally. London is the largest financial center in Europe & the headquarters of major companies operating globally in various fields.
