So who has the "power"? The problem is that those in charge are too weak willed and lily livered to do anything but give in on our behalf.
You're confusing superiority with reality - try negotiating with Sainsburys about your grocery shopping prices...

The problem is that it appears the UK wants all the benefits of being in the EU without the costs (monetary or legal) - that wouldn't be 'negotiations' for the EU, that would be capitulation.

Negotiations are based on mutual benefits only if both sides have things that benefit the other without undermining the basic structure of the organisations.
