Another meaty bit of exit polling to read.
Conclusion:
"Those who had voted Leave in the referendum thought all four objectives very important. They gave the highest scores to no longer paying into the EU budget (85/100) and no longer being subject to the ECJ (80/100). These were also the two outcomes they considered most likely to be part of the UK’s eventual departure terms. They also thought it more likely than not that the UK would have the right to control EU immigration, and to continue trading with EU countries without paying tariffs.
This presents a real challenge to the government. Most voters feel we will not really have left the EU if we continue to pay for it, have to follow its laws, and continue to permit free movement. At the same time, many see no reason why our trading relationship should continue exactly as it is now. If the government thinks otherwise, it must be careful not to let expectations get out of hand."
Again, the moon on a stick. And leaving the EJC, yes, fantastic idea people, but if May is talking to those exit voters, it's not unexpected she wants a hard Brexit. Because that's the only way to avoid paying tariffs.
A bit on the EJC:
