From what I'd heard way back the existing flag was the hot favourite. Should have put the All Black flag up against it, that's a stoater...

I've not spoken to many in favour of the "new" flag and John Key is extremely unpopular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Shame. New Zealand is a proud nation in it's own right. They need not have any stupid bonds to the UK anymore. Fiji are at least ditching the colonial relic from their own flag. It was rather eye opening about a year back when we had a thread on Fiji changing their flag and a few resident Brit Nats got quite annoyed at Fijians having the audacity to do this !

ParisInAKilt Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 It was more a rejection of the government and how they organised the referendum rather than wanting to keep the Union Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like voting against independence because you don't like Alex Salmond. That's the flag dream gone for a generation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) A pity really as the alternative was a belter of a flag. Some of the Pacific Islands have fantastic flags - Vanuatu, Tonga, New Ireland. Edited March 27, 2016 by weekevie04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
