The EU is used to telling member states what to do, that coupled with their intransigence and is the reason we are where we are. It's right that we should be making demands of our own and they'll just have to live with that. If we can't agree then there'll be a price to pay for them. The outcome will be what it is but the initial economic price, if indeed there is one, has to be seen against the whole and what the UK makes of the new opportunities it finds. As time goes on and the Eurozone's troubles become more apparent again, the decision to get out will look increasingly good IMHO.
I think in all the melee surrounding the referendum result a lot of folk have lost sight of the huge problems the Eurozone has stored up for itself. They're still present and the Deutsche Bank situation is just one manifestation of what lies ahead.
