The Jury: Do you think the UK should come out of the Single Market?

I am furious. Two out of the four countries of the UK decided against leaving. 48 per cent of voters wanted to remain. Yes Brexit means Brexit and the country voted out, but because such a large proportion of people are not in favour that should be reflected in the negotiation process. We should go for a compromise.

Charlotte Bernard

Yes I think it is right. I voted out, she is only doing what we wanted. Good on her.

Taking into consideration that over 40 per cent of British exports go to the EU, failure to negotiate a trade deal with the EU would see those exports subject to large import tariffs and additional fees. Annual estimations exceed £4Billion. Therefore we must secure a free trade deal with the EU.

I'm obviously no expert, but from what I have read, this will affect UK companies and employees hugely - the single market currently allows the free movement of goods and services - and money - as well as movement of the labour force which will tie movement of UK workers as well as potentially 'curbing' people coming to the UK.

And while we may be able to negotiate some kind of deal as Norway, etc have done, realistically it could take years and in the meantime, this may prove to be at a huge cost to our companies, and our economy.

Bina Donald

No. Because as a generic belief I have the world should constantly progress and evolve to have an ever more globalised attitude.This UK's "me and my own" attitude is in my opinion regressive. It is against the inevitable future, so will not serve us in the best way in the long term.
