Britain Will Leave EU

Germany’s president appealed to Britain on Friday not to turn its back on the European Union. He also insisted that Europe needs deeper unity to remain a significant player in a globalized world.

From his official residence at Schloss Bellevue Castle President Joachim Gauck acknowledged that the decision over EU membership ultimately rests with the people of Britain, and he made a personal appeal to try to persuade them.

Gauck said, “Dear people of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and dear new British citizens. We would like you to stay with us. We need your experience as the oldest parliamentary democracy, we need your traditions, your soberness and your courage.”

However, to many Britons, the prospect of staying inside Europe’s increasingly undemocratic federation is unappealing. Prime Minister David Cameron has said that if his party wins the next election, he will give the people a referendum over whether or not to stay in the EU.

Gauck insisted that Berlin is not trying to overpower Europe. He said, “I assure all citizens in neighboring countries that, among the political leaders in Germany, I see no one who seeks a German diktat.”

Despite this appeal from Germany’s president, you can expect German and EU leaders to put increasing pressure on Britain to either melt into the European combine or leave it altogether. Bible prophecy shows that Britain ultimately will not be a part of the European Union. For more on this subject, read “Britain Was Warned!”
