I think it's more of a symbiotic relationship; both need each other and both would be poorer if the relationship was to degenerate further than the sabre rattling being observed at the moment.
We are in the middle of a pandemic and the majority of politicians now find themselves more than just junket butterflies, they are having to make decisions, and from where I'm sitting, it appears not many like doing this.
In the UK, the security blanket of the EU has been ripped off our political classes bed, and the EU have got their own complex situation to manage, so the optics in an increasingly right-moving Europe, don't see Brexit as anything other than a unmitigated disaster.
I dont think its right moving, tho certainly in some places we have the same %'s of idiots and racists as most other nations. There are always arguments as to whether social stuff should start from home rather than as the whole but they are small arguements, Both Brexit and Covid have emphased the importance of good relationships and cooperation. Id say these things will swing things left if theres a real shift from the middle
