I find it weird that London is only 10% of the UK population (6.5 million) and the next biggest city Birmingham is the size of Calgary (1.2 million). Did you know Manchester and Liverpool are only 500,000. I would have thought they were huge.

In most countries people migrate to the bigger cities. Saskatchewan moving to Calgary for example. But in England once you're in Saskachewan, you stay there for generations. So even if the EU is good for businesses and head offices in London. 90% of the population is not there.
