<p>I honestly couldn't give a shit if people mistake the flags. Most people probably couldn't even locate NZ on a map.</p>

<p>Brilliant idea for a new flag...</p> -
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="TeWaio" data-cid="567019" data-time="1458817030"><p>A victory for the narrow-minded, shouty social media soapbox types. So disappointed. <br><br><span style="color:#1f497d;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:10px;">So we are stuck with another country’s flag on our flag, which also looks like the flag of the country we most often get mistaken for. Good times.</span></span></span></p></blockquote>

Not just social media though. Mainstream media also appeared to be very anti change with either campaigns marked as personal views from their employees or thinly veiled pieces geared to appease what they thought their audience was and portraying non media "celebs" as interfering if they made their views public. <br>
It's a drawback of postal voting that you can influence people with a voting paper in front of them. -
Shame. Disappointed.<br><br>
Can't see flag change in the future.<br><br>
I love the NZ Ensign and will remain proud of it. But loved the idea of change and of all the alternatives put up I liked this one most (honestly).<br><br>
On with life then. We have a flag with tradition we can be proud of. -
<p>Admins can look up who voted for what. so we can find out who the tools are who think it is clever top vote post event.</p>

<p>Name and shame, particularly if Winger is making up new logins.</p> -
<p>so apparently John Key should now resign, John Key should GFHS, John Key should pay back the money, all those that voted for the new flag ONLY voted for thier man Key and are unpatriotic idiots.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, also include John Keys as well, he should do all of the above.</p> -

<p>John Key should be strung up by his balls for not shoulder tapping the panel to ensure the Silver Fern on black made it (and for allowing Red Peak to enter the race).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Maybe for 24 hours - that will teach him. </p> -

<p>Eek. Although I'm sure I'd be behind a long list of fluffers eager to get a chance to have a quick fiddle with his junk.</p> -
<p>Suspect they are tucked up at the moment trying to avoid post-flag nut shots!</p>

<p>Nice try. But wrong. The people who talk about Key the most are the ones who have Key Derangement Syndrome. Those ho support the govt barely talk about him. </p> -

<p>Nonsense, for a start thats a very small sample size of his supporters. I have no interest at all in his genitals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here an article about the frothing weirdos on the left who are obsessed with him. <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/opinion/77600235/When-it-comes-to-your-political-enemies-listen-to-the-Godfather'>http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/opinion/77600235/When-it-comes-to-your-political-enemies-listen-to-the-Godfather</a></p> -
<p>our media love to give time to the political loonies, left or right, it just so happens that during the course of this process, the majority have been anti-Key so thewy have had much more air time</p>

<p>Sheesh, you can't even make fun of Mike Hoskings without you blokes getting all serious.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did find the article about the Watties Big Eat Butter Chicken that I found on that Manawatu Standard link interesting though.</p>
