The deal wouldn't have to be as good because we'd be saving countless millions by not having to help subsidise the EU as we currently do and because businesses in the UK would no longer be bound by EU rules whether they trade with Europe or not.

Binding ourselves to a stagnating EU will only mean we pay more for the privilege of being in the club whilst at the same time being derided for being there. If the EU wants access to the UK's markets then they'll have to allow us to access theirs and since Germany calls most of the shots I can see the EU tail wagging the German dog for long.
