My two cents is the referendum might be over but the impacts have barely begun.


As I see it, it's a turning point that'll still be relevant decades from now indeed it'll very likely be something extensively studied.


It's not WW2 level of significance but it could be compared to the social changes of the 1960's, the rise of environmentalism in the 1970's or the adoption of "economic rationalism" by Western governments during the 1980's or the "security" measures which came about in 2001. The sort of thing that there's no easy turning back from once done, and any reversal will be at least a generation later.


The political paradigm we've seen for the past few decades has just faced its first serious defeat. If history's any guide, the tide has now permanently turned on that and we'll see a major refocusing going forward, the only question being whether or not there's serious conflict.:2twocents
