Most analysis I've read left and right seems to vindicate Mr K's statement - the country does not want a hard Brexit.
That's probably less important though than what the House of Commons wants. Here, Ruth Davidson is likely to pressure Theresa May for a softer Brexit. She has more MPs than the DUP and helped Theresa May cling onto power so her opinion should count for a lot.
