<p>Apparently, well according to some of the social media I have seen anyway, add in that social media also claims NZ has spoken and doesn't want a new flag at all, am sure we could find conclusive evidence on SM that NZ wants Winger for PM!</p> -
<p>What a ridiculously pathetic country I come from.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Folding to white-trash, anti-Key, anti-prosperitiy, anti-forward looking, anti-anything change, sandal wearing, tree hugging, pathetic piece of shit W A N K E R S.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What a fucking joke.</p> -

<p>I still kind of like it.</p>

<p>Prefer the black flag with a silver fern on it, which they would replace the half/half version on the ballot with that.</p>

<p>start a page on FB, and it shall be so! </p> -
<p>Radio NZ did a totally unscientific street poll this morning. In other words something no more or less accurate than all the BS statements coming out on behalf of the pro- engineering logo.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A couple of those asked didn't even know we were looking at changing the flag. Of the rest prob 60% thought the whole process was a waste of money and we should keep the current flag.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No one liked Red Peak. Not one - so there you go Winger NZ has spoken! :whistle:</p> -

<p>Agree. I would have voted to change to either Red Peak or a good black and white fern if one or the other had won the first vote.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Key has come out of this looking good (from the UK from what I have seen) and Little very poorly. In some ways Red Peak seems to has saved this whole process.</p>

<p>Red Peak is across the line and if it came down to a choice between that and the current flag - Prime Minister John Key says he'd back Red Peak.</p>
<p>Parliament resumed urgent debate on Thursday morning to get legislation through to introduce the controversial outsider to the voting paper.</p>
<p>All parties, apart from NZ First, voted in favour of making Red Peak a fifth flag option in the upcoming flag referendum.</p>

<p>Shame. That's it then :yes:</p> -

<p>Red Flag's designer has said the flag uses the shape of traditional weaving patterns, and "suggests a landscape of alpine ranges, red earth, and black sky", while referencing the Maori creation myth of Ranginui and Papatuanuku, also known as Rangi and Papa.</p>
<p>It also highlights New Zealand's position near the international dateline, which makes it one of the "first to hold the light of new day", he said.</p> -
<p>my avatar represents the circle of life. Green for growth with a window into the eyes of the world - already the pomelo is decaying yet as the circle of life turns so will the pomelo seeds germinate again - especially if fed bullshit</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Plus its got a nice liddle puddy tat</p> -

<p>I guess it's made some (myself and a few others I know) more interested to vote in the referendum. The engineering logo makes a really a sh*t flag imo. </p> -
<p>Certainly has people talking, but everyone is over it, I saw a poll on Facebook...not all publicity is good</p>

<p>black and blue Lockwood.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>easy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>far and away the best option.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've given reasons previously.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>red peak is bland and completely non descript</p>
