LONDO (Sputnik) — UK nationals are set to vote later on Thursday in a referendum on the country's membership in the European Union, after Prime Minister David Cameron and the leaders of the 27 other EU member states agreed in February to grant the United Kingdom a special status within the bloc.
"I think Britain should have a free trade agreement with Russia. With the current administration, it is not possible. Cameron, whatever the result is, will not be allowed to stay prime minister. If it's Boris Johnson who is next, he is very outward-looking, so we can have closer relations with Russia," Atkinson said.
According to recent polls, the number of those UK nationals who will vote for their country staying in the European Union exceeds the figures on supporters of the Leave campaign.
