Cambridge University Press's definitions are:
Hard Brexit: a Brexit in which the United Kingdom stops being a member of the European single market and gets full control of its own law-making and immigration
Soft Brexit: a Brexit in which the United Kingdom's relationship with the European Union is a close as possible to what it was before Brexit: In a "soft Brexit", Britain would be out of the EU but would retain strong economic ties, make budgetary contributions, and allow free movement of people.


Can they take their seats in Westminster and vote against the Government?
they will never take there seats in parliament
