MPs who back the UK staying in the European Union may attempt to keep the country inside the single market even if there is a vote for Brexit.
The pro-Remainers, who include most Labour MPs, a large number of Conservatives, and the SNP, hold a strong House of Commons majority.
According to the BBC, many are already planning to use their votes to push for the UK to remain inside the European single market, while accepting the public’s decision to exit the EU, in the event of a Leave victory in the 23 June referendum.
However, such a compromise would be highly controversial. Other countries which have access to the single market but are not EU members, like Norway, have to pay into the EU and accept the free movement of people – two of the key concerns raised by Leave campaigners in the referendum debate.
