English newspapers today (8 February) took command of a campaign to completely write off a proposed EU regulation which would limit the activity of hedge funds, the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), saying it will hurt the London-based financial sector. London-based conservative newspaper the Daily Telegraph and its free rival, City AM, launched campaigns against the EU's proposed regulation of alternative invetsment funds. The Telegraph has coined its campaign 'Ditch the Directive'. Both newspapers enjoy healthy penetration rates in London's City as they focus on financial news. City AM, founded in 2005, litters London's business districts as it is handed out on the streets and in underground stations.

With any reasonable budget
That's your problem right there.
Also, media ownership. Ordinary non-City folk don't own newspapers.
Conversely City folk do own political parties - both of the ones that really matter.
And the other ones are too incoherent to make it a policy issue.
