LONDON (SW): In a historic decision, Britain voted to leave the European Union in a referendum on Thursday.
With 90 percent of the votes counted, Brexit was ahead at 52 percent after the historic referendum.
More than 17 million people voted in the referendum to sever ties with the European Union.
According to Aljazeera, when asked whether David Cameron should resign in case of a Brexit, Nigel Farage, leader of United Kingdom Independent Party (UKIP) who had backed a vote to leave, said: “immediately”.
Prime Minister David Camron had backed a vote to remain.
Farage went on to accuse Cameron and former prime ministers Gordon Brown and Tony Blair of “irresponsible, open-door mass-immigration that has damaged the quality of life of ordinary, decent people in this country.”
During the vote, the UK’s currency, Sterling, dropped to its lowest level since 1985.
Though the high-profile political parties widely campaigned to stay in the European Union but the results of the referendum suggested that the citizens were determined on Brexit.
