British Prime Minister Theresa May on Tuesday set out her vision for Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union, declaring that there would be no “half in, half out” deal. “They voted to leave the European Union and embrace the world." What I’m proposing cannot mean membership of the single market,” she said. "We do not want to undermine the single market and we do not want to undermine the European Union," she said. Liberal Democrat leader Tim Fallon, however, described the plans as a “theft of democracy,” arguing that complete withdrawal from the single market — which has been dubbed “hard Brexit” — was never on the ballot.
