Just finished reading "Adults in the Room" by Yanis Varoufakis describing how Greece was shafted by the German/French to save their own economies. Very interesting book and shows how egotistical & protectionist Brussels is.
I've seen it first hand while developing WTO trade rules and a deliberate attempt by the French (supported by the EU & Morocco) to stitch up the UK fishing industry. They hate the UK, and we should not forget that they never wanted us as members in the first place. We were only tolerated because of the money we brought to the table.
We should all be clear that Brussels is an unelected bunch of bureaucrats with a track record of ignoring democracy. The EU is a busted flush that is only still going because of massive Quantitative Easing. Immigration will blow it apart, but the Germans will do all they can to keep it going. It's simply in their interest to keep the Euro as they are the only country actually making things (cars, engineering, etc, etc) that people want. Loosing the Euro would mean reverting to the DM and massive currency inflation. German exports would tank. The French are broke and have to do Merkels bidding to stay liquid. Look at Macron ideas - more Euro and closer financial integration to gain more control over member countries.
Fiscal union is the only way that the EU can survive.
Westminster (Cameron is on record saying it) spun the lie that they were superior to Brussels. Brussels defeated the UK in the Factortame case (1991) and established Supremacy over all member states. We ceded control to Brussels when we joined in 1973. However, what we joined in 1973 has morphed into a different beast that is heading for a car crash. The worry is that we've had over 40 years of statutory integration (reinforced by legal challenge at significant cost to industry & society). Westminster will not wish to go through that pain again to unpick all the legislation. We'll end up with a complete fudge, no influence over new legislation and still be dancing to the Brussels tune for years to come. Westminster will do anything to save the City as this is the biggest earner for UK Plc. The French want it and will bend us over (with the support of Germany) to drive the negotiations. Everything else (farming, fishing, manufacturing) will be thrown at the deal to protect the City.
We are better out, but unfortunately we need a strong team to negotiate the deal. I'm not convinced we have that team.

The downside for us is grim if a decent deal isn't done
