No it won't. A 'soft Brexit' (i.e. staying in the single market and ergo freedom of movement) would not be Brexit. The EU has actually said this isn't on the table. Immigration was clearly a major factor in the referendum and if we kept freedom of movement it would be a massive betrayal.

Don't forget, Labour committed to Brexit in their manifesto, and they've said that when we leave that will end freedom of movement. Corbyn is arguably more of a Eurosceptic than May. I think there's more to this election result than the Remainers fighting back, if that was the case the Lib Dems would've done better as they positioned themselves as the anti-Brexit party. A lot of the panellists in the BBC studio this morning were suggesting that domestic issues (austerity, NHS, police cuts etc) have actually played a bigger part.

The DUP will insist on it, otherwise the whole thing will fall apart. They do not want a hard border with the Republic.

Daily telegraph has confirmed that the DUP would want to see a soft Brexit, my guess is that some sort of EFTA style solution is the only option available to the tories.
 
I understand a 'hard Brexit'................I don't agree with it..........but I understand it. What I find difficult is a soft Brexit. How, in substance (rather than semantics), is 'soft Brexit' better than no Brexit at all?

My guess is that most on here will probably have different interpretations of Hard versus Soft, my own would be that Soft would resemble an EFTA type deal, where by a lot of Jurisdiction will remain with the EU..while a Hard will mean totally away from any.
