Shahran Tabari, a member of the British Labour Party and political analyst, tells Radio Farda that political instability has engulfed Britain one day after the referendum. She states, "Today is a bad day for Britain and the world. After forty years, Britain has decided to leave the European Union. This is the biggest decision Britain has made since World War II." Ms. Tabari adds, "Everything in Britain is uncertain... British society is a broken society. Political instability has led to economic instability." This political analyst mentions, "Most major cities voted to remain, but small towns voted to leave." Just hours after the announcement of victory for the supporters of Britain's exit from the European Union, David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the country, announced his resignation from this position. Mr. Cameron will remain in office until the next autumn. The result of the British referendum on whether to remain in or leave the European Union shows that the 'Leave' campaign won with 51.9% of the votes; 17.4 million voted for 'Leave' and 16.1 million voted for 'Remain.'
