The Leader of Opposition is certainly not helping. His Brexit statement gives me a message that the number of genuine Brexit supporters is indeed very large that he does not dare alienating them.
If the Conservatives win, there are still two choices - no-deal brexit and brexit with a deal - and these are very different. Boris could also choose the renegotiate the deal again knowing he has a mandate this time.
Can see Boris Johnson trying to renegotiate his own deal going down very well with the EU!
At this point I'm still expecting a Tory majority rather than a hung parliament, the Tories knew May was a vote loser, so replaced her, whereas Labour chose to recycle - but I wouldn't deem it worth the effort to save either leader from a burning building.

There is still a chance of a pivot, with the Tories losing London and Scottish seats - but not gaining enough elsewhere to compensate.
I disagree - pretty strongly - that the Tories seek a "hard brexit": that is certainly not what is on the table, and, as regards future negotiations (of which there will be many), is a long way from Boris's stated preferences - and even more to the point, as the apparent mastermind behind the Johnson Government's approach to Brexit, far further from Dominic Cummings' outlook.
Thank you DG for using the correct definition of hard Brexit.

It’s indicative of how ridiculous this debate has become that leavers would limit the meaning of ‘hard Brexit’ to only the most economically catastrophic, stupid bloody-minded form of exit.

They would have us belief that EEA and other single market options weren’t regularly bandied around in the 2016 debate by the liars as potential outcomes depending on the person asking the question.
Thanks for this, it's good to see something laid out in black and white. It's obvious that these are the only two options. I do worry about what will happen with Corbyn supporters when they realise the electorate don't want socialism. Will they turn violent?

For the record I am not voting Tory and am no fan of Boris Johnson
Sadly the bumbling conservatives have done nothing to earn the slightest degree of voteability for the last few years, but millions will still put their x there.
The Conservative deal is not proper Brexit, it keeps us too tied in to the EU. It might be 'hard' but it is not properly leaving. I suppose, however, that it is the best we can get for now.
And what happens when Uxbridge & South Ruislip elect some other candidate as their MP?
I wish more people would acknowledge that this is the choice we are facing. Too much of the coverage of this election seems to suggest that there is some sort of equivalence between Johnson and Corbyn, that all politicians are as bad as each other and that they will all do just as bad a job of governing the country. To me, it seems that however bad you think Corbyn is, Johnson is far worse. Even if you disagree then it still needs to be acknowledged that they have very different visions for the future of the UK.
I'd say only Corbyn and the Labour manifesto has any genuine 'vision' for our future society. I don't know what Johnson's 'vision' might be, as he seems to communicate only what he thinks people want to hear at that moment, which is often contradictory and self-serving. That this now appears to be reduced to fixing pot holes and hospital parking charges reveals the paucity of his 'vision' for the country and its people. I only hope it doesn't also represent the limited vision of the British people when they come to vote.
Very telling that neither DG nor the comments even contemplate Her Majesty's Opposition winning the election and forming a goverment. And yet Labour agreed to this election. What were they thinking of?
As an outsider, I think if someone really wanted Brexit, they would have started by methodically unwinding each small component, one at a time. Doing it one fell swoop, hard or not, smells of demagoguery - not policy.
