What does last sentence mean?

The people of Scotland have decided to continue their 300-year union with England. So the UK survives. Pro-independence campaigners say they're disappointed, but insist the high turnout shows there's an appetite for change. Few would disagree, and accept the result doesn't mean Britain goes back to business as usual.

Is this sentence grammatical?

If your paraphrasing is to be correct, shouldn't 'doesn't mean' be changed into 'means'?

contrapositionIs this sentence grammatical?
It's grammatical, but carelessly worded. it relies on our taking 'few would disagree' to mean 'most would agree', and understand 'most' to be the subject of 'accept'..
