I'm a Christian. I voted to leave. And I don't regret it. Premier Christianity
Jun 2016
Peter D Williams explains why his Christian values led him to vote to
Leave and why he believes the UK's future is better out than
in.
Last Thursday, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. As
a Christian Brexiteer, I’m delighted, but not every one of my brothers and
sisters in Christ share my elation. Many of them perceive voting to
Leave as an endorsement of an anti-Christian politics of fear, xenophobia, and
prejudice, one that rejects peace, unity, and international brotherhood.
Suffice it to say, I think they are mistaken. Despite the brief division and
disappointment, in the long run this historic decision is a good thing for
Christian values, one that is in keeping with the counter-cultural nature of
our faith.
Whether Britain should have been a member of the EU was not, contrary to
what the main campaigns would have had you believe, about the economy, or
immigration. Nor was the debate about whether or not you like Europe or
Europeans, or whether or not you like either the Leave or Remain campaigns and
how they prosecuted their respective cases.

As a historian, I can assure you this is the most tumultuous event of modern times, a people's revolt against the elite that's been brewing for years Dominic Sandbrook, Daily Mail
There are times, not very often, when you can feel history being made.
An archduke falls, a wall comes down, a plane hits a building, and in that
moment you can feel the ground shifting beneath your feet.
When those initial results came in from Sunderland and Newcastle in the
early hours of yesterday morning, I could barely believe it. Even now, to write
the words 'Britain has voted to leave the EU' feels extraordinary, like a leap
into some alternative reality.
For once, all the cliches are justified. This was not merely an
electoral earthquake. It was a popular revolt by vast swathes of England and
Wales against the political, financial and cultural elite, whose complacent
assumptions have been simply blown away.
