A major political change, including Prime Minister David Cameron’s resignation, may hit the United Kingdom in case Britons vote to leave the European Union on Thursday, former Scottish Deputy Finance Minister George Lyon told Sputnik.

EDINBURGH (Sputnik) — The United Kingdom is voting on whether it should stay in or leave the European Union. Polling stations across the United Kingdom stay open from 7:00 a.m. (06:00 GMT) through 10:00 p.m. local time (21:00 GMT).

“If it is a vote to leave there will be huge repercussions and I can’t see how David Cameron or [UK Chancellor] George Osborne can survive beyond the next week. So in terms of UK politics it has a huge potential for upheaval with a new Prime Minister, a new Chancellor of the Exchequer,” Lyon said.

Lyon added that those politicians who had played prominent roles in the Leave campaign would be the most likely figures to replace Cameron and Osborne, but stressed that such a change would “worry” many voters in Scotland.

“Some of the characters on the Leave side would be the main front runners for those top jobs and I think that would worry a lot of Scots.”
