Democracy – What Democracy?

In the West we pride ourselves on being democratic. I can only speak about Britain.  Recently we had a referendum in which the majority voted to leave Europe.  This obviously should mean that we leave Europe.  However for all the talk of “Brexit means brexit” very little appears to have changed.  It would not surprise me in the least if slowing the process and double dealing end in a Brexit which is unrecognisable from what the people intended to happen. Of course democracy is an ideal which is not totally realisable.  As they say whoever you vote for you always get the Government.  In recent years the political parties have been very like each other and so there is no effective opposition. I’m glad my trust is in Jesus, as governments can never be totally trusted.  If I didn’t know that God reigns and is in complete control of all things I would be a very worried woman.
