The race to the right intensifies.
 
There's been senior Tories talking about this possibility since the split in the party over Brexit. They compared it to what happened over the Corn Laws in the 1840s when the then Conservative party split over free trade disagreements. It was at its height when Theresa May was upsetting people with her 'terrible' deal that political pragmatism has more or less left us with now the dust has settled somewhat😀

It is complex though, as there has been a strand of anti-EU from before the EU existed in the Tories (and the Foreign Office) and some of them would argue they are in favour of free trade outside of the EU 😀 I personally decided to vote Remain because the Leave campaign had no plans for what came next, and then we saw that played out in Parliament. It was, however, no good for the country that it only dawned on the Leave campaign that they didn't know what to do next until after they won...
