Nationality
Given that Carney had to take British citizenship in order to take up the "reserved post" of Governor of the Bank of England, should not his nationality be updated to Canadian-British? 86.2.64.179 (talk) 21:05, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
He did not have to take up British citizenship to take up the position as Governor -- he is not eligible for it until about the end of his term, at least according to the transcripts of this interview. [1]
Can anyone name a reliable source stating that Mark Carney has since acquired British citizenship? The current source used in the article to support the claim of British citizenship appears to state only that he plans to apply for British citizenship.--Boson (talk) 00:34, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. He does not yet have British citizenship and the only source for the statement he does specifically says that he won't qualify until the end of his term. I'll update it. Harsimaja (talk) 16:34, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Jacob Rees-Mogg as source
I have removed a recent addition to the article which I believe to be sourced ultimately from Jacob Rees-Mogg. He has a large undeclared financial interest: much of his £100m+ fortune is invested with hedge funds, especially Somerset Capital Management LLP, of which he is, I think, still a director and partner. The hedge fund industry expects Brexit Britain to be a low-tax, low-regulation haven for financial speculation. Wildfowl (talk) 01:21, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I completely agree that JRM has a conflict of interest; however, he is a prominent (and influential!) politician and I think his comments are worth noting. --Bangalamania (talk) 02:16, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that his comments are worth noting, as he might be the next British prime minister – but not without noting his conflict of interest. Wildfowl (talk) 21:33, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
