I cannot get your point but the one thing I do know is not one of those Nations you mentioned have said the UK would be better out of the EU.
I doubt the EU would allow the USA to carve up anything,if the present EU Members, including us, have to battle hard to win every change, I cannot see anyone else really achieving that much outside the EU.
No matter how big or powerful they may be.
The argument from out has been the EU has become far too insular and even dismisses the concerns of its members,now you are saying they are going to completely cave in to the USA,yet it will need the agreement of 'all' members of the EU to even also allow that.
I just do not see that coming about at all,sorry.no way.

It is coming about and like TheTruth says, some of its already here. The Neo-liberals wouldn’t dare allow a British referendum on TTIP. Four years of hard work and secret negotiations with secret votes and the race to get this fast moving train finalized before Obama steps down in 2017. Other than a revolution, the British government will not be giving us the opportunity to stop this happening.
The EU have already agreed that it will change certain laws to accommodate American trade, in fact the EU appear all too eager to please the talking heads of Washington. We have agreed to relax our pesticide restrictions to allow American pesticides to be used across Europe. America still allows cancergenic chemicals and poisons that kill valuable wild life. We have agreed to relax our laws on lead being permitted in make-up and we have signed a deal saying we will abolish EU laws on the import of GM foods and growth hormone meats.
America has shown huge interest in buying up our public health and education and selling us the Americanized private model insurance package. The cost of medicines will rocket in price. The cost to our health doesn't even bare thinking about.
