About these data

Full question: This week MPs voted on a range of alternative options to the prime minister’s Brexit plan, to indicate which one had the most support. Now we would like to show you a summary of each motion and ask you whether you think MPs should have voted for or against each motion. The ‘EFTA/EEA’ motion: This motion states that the UK should negotiate to stay in in the European Economic Area and the single market, meaning that the UK would maintain freedom of movement, labour, goods and services with the EU. However, the motion argues UK’s rights and obligations should be enforceable by UK courts, not the European Court of Justice. This motion also rejects any kind of customs union with the EU after Brexit, meaning that the UK should be free to strike its own trade deals outside of the European Union.
