By which measure? Balance of payments, we hold the upper hand. Job losses in the event of 'no deal', we lose 12,000 while the rest of the EU lose around 400,000. Intelligence and security, we spend nearly as much as the rest of the EU put together and have a strategic relationship with the US.

Raw GDP, land mass and number of people, sure, the EU is larger. I think it would be naive to think that this makes them willing to accept the UK leaving without a deal.
