There are Remoanser claiming that the EU will give us the worst deal

Isn't the argument that the EU would need to give bad deal simply for
its own self-preservation? If it give a good deal, various other
countries might start getting ideas too.

The British europhile idea that Continental politics is like some kind
of giant LibDem conference (with a couple of dodgy French and Dutch
people being ignored on the sidelines) may not be entirely realistic.
