意味（1）

(UK politics) The (hypothetical) withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union while generally remaining in European institutions (e.g. the European single market or customs union).

Without question now, Britain is not ready for the negotiations, having spent the past year largely avoiding a real debate on the topic, other than a vague argument over the merits of a “hard Brexit” (as a clean break from the European Union is known), versus a “soft Brexit,” which would require more compromise.
