Hope I'm wrong though.
I am inclined to agree with you!! There might even be a case where a "bad" deal is better than no deal!!!! But the one silver lining might be that the UK is important to a lot of companies in the major EU markets, especially Germany where trade with the UK is worth 134b pounds. There will be some pressure on the EU to get a deal done to at least try to protect some of this business and with the fragile state of some EU heads in their own countries, Merkel being one, the last thing they need is any drop in the economy even if they have an easy scapegoat in the UK. It absolutely makes sense for all parties for an equitable deal to be agreed upon, lets hope both sides remember that!!
