>> the EU wasn't really cooperating in making a deal with the UK. Could you clarify this? What kind of deal should the UK have gotten? Should the UK get a better deal than other countries which are not in the union?

Give the UK (the people in the UK) the freedom to do business with whomever they want. Without 'bullying' border rules. But no, EU said: You left us and that makes us angry.

My whole point is: there should never have bin a EU. What was wrong with the agreement between countries?

There was always a tension between some sort of common market trade organization and a European superstate—which the UK never fully bought into in important aspects anyway.

You should have stayed in the EEA or EFTA then. The UK was one of the founding members of the EEA. Tatcher was quite against the EU and the Euro anyway.
