The news stories cover it quite comprehensively

Autonomy from German hegemony (they dominate EU policy ),

If Germany would dominate the EU they could work much more efficient believe me. You seem to be not aware about how the EU works: Portugal or Belgium have the same voting power as Germany or France. It's the media who zooms in on Chancellor Merkel and what she or the Finance Minister of Germany say.

I think it doesn't matter that much whether the UK leaves the EU or not. There is still a Germany which has the biggest economy in Europe and sells more cars. And there a still refugees who try to come into the UK. This referendum will not change the facts.
