Britain and Brexit in Crisis

Bible in the News

The Economist cover this week says, “Brexit, the mother of all messes”. The Economist's intoduction to the article is, "Solving the crisis will need time—and a second referendum”. A second referendum is what the ‘remain’ side in Britain has been advocating for ever since they lost the first one and it isn’t at all surprising that the Economist would also vouch for this idea. The Economist has much flawed reasoning in their synopsis, but one thing that the publication is right about, is that the British parliament is in a mess. One of the root causes of the chaos, is that the majority of the political elite never wanted Brexit in the first place — including members of parliament and the house of lords. The British people spoke in the referendum, but the politicians didn’t like the answer, they are more oriented toward the European Union. But, there is more to it than this and we find the answer in the Bible.
