The vast majority of politicians are careerists, whichever side they campaigned for. People voted for Leave or Remain according to their vested interests, so your hated capitalists were spread across both camps. Boris is as pro-capitalist as it comes.
Over 300 here publically campaigned for Leave, including key figures in Goldman Sachs, Sony, Superdrug, British American Tobacco. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2016/05/15/letters-britains-competitiveness-i
If you think that leaving the EU will take us away from capitalism I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. Anyone who protest voted for a 'fairer society' wasted their vote. May isn't anyone's fairy godmother. |
Never mind the odd individual. Where did Goldman Sachs' funding go?

Our new brexit PM seems determined to thwart these global capitalists.
Fracking allowed and encouraged
Caved into food industry lobby to abandon sugar tax
Heathrow expansion.
Behind closed doors deal with Nissan. |
The people have unleashed Maggie 2. Well done the people 
I hope Wales gets a foot up from Westminster when (if?) we leave, but considering we've never previously and we'll be net losers when EU funding is withdrawn (so will need relatively more funding than other parts of the uk) I suspect we won't. If there isn't a big injection of capital from Westminster, it's going to be grim in this part of the world. Our own fault maybe for being so reliant on the public sector. But what else is there?
Meanwhile yes, the environment and our health and wellbeing can go f*ck themselves as far as May is concerned.
And to the resident rightwingers who like to categorise everyone, no I've never voted Labour in my life nor am I, or want to be, a socialist  |  | | |

Believe it or not the only time I've ever voted anything other than Labour in a general election was one occasion when I voted Plaid. That doesn't mean I shut my eyes about where Goldman Sachs lined up.

Of course, getting out of the EU won't stop the forces pushing globalism, but anybody who thinks the Union is about social democracy rather than neo-liberalism hasn't been paying attention. | | | |

Tit for tat over donors is pointless as there were corporate donors on both sides http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36267668. To try and polarise this into a pro- and anti-capitalist arguement just doesn't fit. I don't think anyone would argue that neoliberalism isn't foremost in the mind of the EU, much as it is for most regions in the world these days. Brexit will give us, imo, more of it. At least there were some ideas from the EU founded on a social conscience. More than we'll get from May. | | | |

It is hardly pointless to draw attention to a misleading post. Here is what a commentator said about the list in the Telegraph letter you linked to. For instance, the manager you claimed represented Sony had left the company in 2010. Very few if any were currently senior officers in major multinational companies, for the reasons the link below explains.
