Good sense prevails .. as the NZ representative in the UK said on the radio today (I paraphrase) .. we Kiwis are proud of our heritage and role we played in two world wars on the side of Britain. The retention of the Union flag reflects our closeness
Commonwealth flags - then and now. Only four still have the union flag in the corner: Australia, NZ, Cook Islands and Tuvalu. I doubt many people even knew how many had changed. Even fewer care, I'm sure. This is an issue for Kiwis. Don't see why any of us Brits should be getting our knickers in a twist, personally.

Isn't the problem with flag designs, that most of them are dull, and easily mistaken for someone else's flag, but loved because of their history and what we are used to.
Actually inventing a new flag that represents your modern country, and its history, without resorting to clichés is really hard...

It's difficult, but James Gray rose to the challenge with this proposed New Zealand flag. A pity the PC liberal elites blocked it from winning.
indeed .. and that's even despite the fact that Hawaiians killed the English hero and master geographer/explorer Capn James Cook ((:>) .. or should that be ((:<) ?

Just making yourself look ever sillier with every nonsense rant.
Seriously, I have no idea why a country would want another countries flag on theirs, but that's what they've voted for.
