Switzerland is not part of the EU. Why do you think that the UK have more freedom in this case?

Switzerland already bent its traditional legislation to comply with new EU ruling about banks secrets snd reporting. The UK banking just got its chance.
Switzerland did that because the alternative was, concretely, losing the ability to keep foreign customers, so they chose the lesser evil. Why do you think it would be different for the UK?
