Ill just add two more cents worth:
1. When there is debate, people seem to forget this country is made up of many diverse cultures, backgrounds, varying education levels, ideologies so on and so forth. Some people need to be spoon fed more than others. I felt like there was too much "why would you vote No?" commentary and not enough "here's why you should vote Yes" (if that makes sense). When it's all said and done, the democratic process of the day resulted in a decision that is representative of the entire country, like it or not. By the way, I found the whole "silence for a week thing" extremely childish given how much work there is to do, poor leadership IMO. Imagine Vossy and Crippa sooking it up after loss and not speaking to anyone. We all dust ourselves off, roll up the collective sleeves again and get to work in making this country better, pedal to the metal.
2. As for playing the man, I felt the "Yes" campaigners were far more aggressive, intimidating, arogant and dismissive. I think these are also factors that went against the "Yes" vote.
