Business Matters: Markets Welcome Tory Election Triumph, But Will It Lead The UK Out Of The EU? 9 May 15

Fri, 8 May 15

As the Conservatives snatch a slim majority in Britain's election we ask if the financial markets should be rejoicing? The BBC's Dominic Laurie heads to the City to find out. We also hear from business leaders Roland Rudd and Matthew Elliott on whether the prospect¹ of a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU is beneficial or damaging to their bottom line. Plus, will a majority Conservative government continue their programme of economic austerity? The BBC's Economics Editor Robert Peston provides his analysis. And we tackle one of the big questions of the election, how the polls, which predicted a hung Parliament and no overall majority - got it so very wrong, and what this means for the polling business. Throughout the programme we're joined by Professor Adrian Hearn, Australian Research Council fellow in Pacific studies at the University of Melbourne.
