He may have to. His demand is unprecedented in EU trade deals and is totally irrelevant to most member state governments who have little to no interest in fishing in U.K. waters. It is small beer economically (to us as well as them, to be fair) which means the only insurmountable issue with it is one of sovereignty. This is why the U.K. can’t budge and France (and the EU) can, and must. I’m pretty sure Macron knows this and the negotiating efforts right now are focused on an acceptable strategy for allowing him to climb down.
