I agree. Anything that shakes up this complacent status quo we've been living in for yonks and makes people reconsider is a good thing.
An interesting scenario is developing re Brexit . . . if we don't get our shit together (which we don't appear to be doing) and end up leaving with no agreement, the areas that will be hurt the worst, at least in the short term and the ones that voted to leave and vice versa. Ironic, eh?
