There is a reason that up until now we are one of only 3 net contributors to the EU, so while all the 27 members states may have their say it means squat really. The deal will be done with the other 2 net contributors, Germany and France, because at the end of the day, monitory power will determine the outcome. Everything else is noise.

Germany and France cannot afford for the brexit deal to be anything but good for the 3 contributors. So lots of huffing and puffing, but a pretty much guaranteed outcome that will be satisfactory to the UK. How that outcome is then interpreted will be dependent on political stance as it always is. So someone will always find fault.
