Why won’t the rest of the world be in it for itself? Because it will bow to our Anglo-Saxon superiority?

Your misunderstanding appears to be that capitalism creates rational actors looking to achieve some kind of economic edge. Any collective involves sacrifice by some for a greater total gain. In our case the gain is easy access to a workforce our businesses rely upon and a market to sell goods into.

Germany is by far the biggest net contributor to the EU and you seem to think it should have less influence, yet we give Ireland a low interest loan and it should do our bidding? The inconsistencies are staggering.

Your incorrect inferences are insulting.
