I agree with Nigel. No deal is a lot better than a bad deal and, as has been said before, no deal does not mean no deal forever.

Now, at last, we are getting reports that Germany is very afraid of the consequences of no deal to it's own prosperity.

The EU is afraid of giving the UK a good deal in case other members decide to leave as well. Even if that good deal is also a good deal for it's remaining members. To put it another way, the Eu will negotiate to the detriment of it's members in order to follow it's own dogma.

The previous sentence in itself contains all the reasons I would ever need to want to leave.
