The EU are in the past, whether you like that or not. To be honest I'm surprised that there is going to be an EU left for us to leave as I thought it might crumble before we even had time to get out but I've been to the ECHR and I've watched them take our rights away and now having seen how the EU has behaved over our departure I think that in 100 years time we may well look back on this and consider that we were lucky to get out when we did. All the previous artificial European alliances have ended with heavy artillery. Either way we are getting out.
In one sense "the deal" doesn't matter as we will now regain democratic control over the details of this deal once we leave - so if I don't like it I can lobby my MP to get it changed and while I can do that with the current deal while we are "in" my MP and MSP have no control over it. Any deal is basically a starting point as we need to be thinking longer term as that is how money thinks. There has been no massive move of money out of the UK, sure there have been some changes with some leaving and some coming but on balance they'd have happened anyhow, and that tells us a lot. More importantly we need to be thinking longer term for freedom, I've been right in there in the workings of EU freedoms and there aren't any, you are completely at the beck and call of a rich boys club centered around people like Tony Blair. My "leave" vote was entirely for reasons of freedom whereas most of the current media debate centres on short term financial, political and personal gain, or loss, and I suspect in the longer term the freedom being "out" buys us is worth some "investment" in the short and medium term. I don't want to live on a police state where we suddenly find Tony Blair is head of "Thought Enforcement Policy" or similar, and if necessary I'm willing to pay for that.
However nothing I've said above really matters because the one, and only, important deal is the one we will do with the USA. To be honest I wouldn't even be bothering to talk to the EU, I'd be in America sorting out the future of my country rather than the past. The USA have a rapidly expanding economy and they have just completely stiffed the EU with the "trade tariff" ploy where the EU are now going to have to start buying petroleum products from the USA reducing the Russian strategic influence in Europe and forcing the EU into a position of dependence on the USA. We need to cosy up to the USA, start fracking as quickly as we can, and align our policies with the USA creating jobs for working people and ignoring spurious regulation in favour of moving our society and economy forwards.
Then there is the Commonwealth of Nations: 2,400,000,000+ people and 53 nations, many developing economically very quickly indeed. Just as the UK didn't stand alone against Germany in the last war, no matter what the propaganda might have said, so we don't stand alone outside the EU and we have access to one of the world's biggest markets. Again we need to move on from the short term, inward looking, self centered and selfish media virtue-signaling and get on with building freedom and operating in one of the largest markets on earth.
