They should have focused on Brexit and issued a "steady as she goes" manifesto.
Nothing in any manifesto from any party is deliverable if Brexit goes tits up.
They also mis-calculated that the good will being shown to May for her Brexit handling to date, would transpose onto other policies. Nope.

Why after all this time do people not realise there is no such thing as a hard Brexit/soft Brexit.
There is only Brexit or not Brexit, and that has already been decided.
If you want to stay in the single market then you are not leaving the EU, you will still be bound by the EU rules, regs, freedoms and ECJ.

No you are correct.
Well its like this a hard Brexit to me is just walking away without a deal and reverting to WTO rules.
But staying in the single market does mean being bound by EU rules and for me as a trade union rep that's no bad thing , TUPE is European backed , as are maternity rights, and a case went to the European court a couple of years ago which was lost in UK courts, which meant people had to be paid full wages whist on holiday including an premiums they would otherwise had been paid , had they not been on holiday.
As identified a lot of our infrastructure is European Run as well Train companies (Franchised) Water companies utility companies ,as well as large employers Nissan and Honda who have only committed to the UK in the short term at the moment.
To be honest I want to stay in the single market or customs union.
So really do not want to exit anyway as if it all goes belly up we have an awful lot to lose.
