Shareholders finally revolt!

Yes ...but the Board didn't have to follow the shareholders' vote ...that is not yet legally binding?? isn't that one of things the present government are thinking about introducing?

Did hear someone ask how much his 'golden handshake' would be?? How can that be alright?

As long as the big business shareholders can break the cycle of A agreeing B's remuneration package, B agreeing C's and C agreeing A's there is some chance of reining in the fat cats.

Possibly. But it's the big business shareholders who are putting their feet down and voting down the proposals - if they hadn't done, the small shareholders would have been ignored as usual.
