The younger generations are uniting in solidarity across national and cultural boundaries, and yet potentially becoming divided from their elders. In contrast, many of the younger generation, shaped by school exchanges and cheap vacations to sunnier climes, define themselves in more inclusive and post-national terms. With some justification, the younger generations see the boomers as selling them down the river on yet another issue for which, in terms of life expectancy, they will never be held morally or materially culpable. Whether either generation is right in terms of political or economic policy implications is a moot point. The new fissures and seams are only emerging, but the referendum has redefined what it means to be English.
