I don't really care where the vote came from. It's a crying shame that we have to have a flag with the Union Jack on it.It also looks a lot like Australia...need I say more?

The biggest lobby group against the old flag was the RSA. They have every right to vote for the flag, but as our war hero, Willie Apiata said, "You don't fight for your country, you fight for your mates"

Agreed there, the last thing we need is the Union Jack over us.

I liked the silver fern on black and blue with the red Southern cross akimbo.
