New Zealand confirms referendum to be held over flag

[GommeInc]

Never understood the obsession with changing flags or keeping them as they are. Saying the current flag is a symbol of colonialism and times past means very little really. It's part of their national identity and anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together should know that these superficial ideas mean nothing if this is all that flag symbolises. By saying it symbolises oppression and colonialism should be considered offensive and incredibly ignorant. When I hear of New Zealand I don't just think of it as an ex-colony. If anything I just think of how many sheep per person there seem to be :/

Also, using a sport logo is incredibly stupid. If that's all New Zealand is known for or is valued for then this PM should be booted out for belittling his citizens and demeaning his nation.

I hear dragons on flags are quite fetching.

No problem with them changing it as I can't understand that logic, but shoving a silver fern leaf on it would be absolutely revolting.

Maybe they could put a fire breathing sheep on their flag? It's so daft it may work!

I much prefer the St David's flag for Wales.

The Kingdom of Bhutan has a lovely dragon flag..
