Naturally the elites on the Left in London (where one can only be a rich elite to afford to live there), as well as Scotland (what's up with that?) with all of their cushy perks in life, work, and the EU, were absolutely furious.

Naturally, everyone is now trying to reneg on the vote, go back on their word, and are wanting to push through a referendum to have another vote!

Why is Brexit important? Why is it a good thing that Britain extricated itself from the grip of the EU? Because the EU was well on its way to becoming a multi-nation superstate, with only one government, one monetary firm, one bank, one flag, one anthem. As well, this falls right into the Biblical prophecy about a multi-nation superstate! Just this week, new crept out in the news in Poland that the EU was so furious about Britain's departure that they were going ahead with creating a European superstate, causing people to panic, and now several other nations are talking about their own referendums to leave the EU.
