We need to rid ourselves of our paranoid xenophobia. Sometimes interests are mutual and acting together is more effective, particularly when dealing with the US, China etc. Little England will become an irrelevance.

But the EU isn't about mutual interests, only the interests of Germany and France.

Future relation European Council Guidelines-April 2017
paragraph 20
"Any free trade agreement should be balanced', ambitious and wide-ranging
... A level playing field must be ensured, notably in terms of
competition and state aid, and in this regard encompass safeguards
against unfair competitive advantages through, inter alia, tax; social,
environmental and regulatory measures and practices. "

Everybody has to be hamstrung by the same policies that Germany and France insist upon. The draft agreement continues that.
