    <p>My Red Peak flag finally turned up. I had to cancel the NZ purchase and buy from MrFlag in the UK. Quality was not great but still. Flag still looks fantastic though.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>But turned up too late for the game I went to</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>But I didn't really see that many flags at the game. A few but also one Maori flag. But two people in front of me had the fern flag and NZ flag and took a photo side by side. The black fern looked good. NZ flag a bit shit I felt</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Here's an article re someone who does not like Red Peak. :knuppel:</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>She calls red peak boring and then they include that picture.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p> </p>

    <p>Stacey Kirk: It's the worst flag of the five, but Red Peak's inclusion is the right one<br>
    I struggle to understand the popularity of Red Peak.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>OPINION: Red Peak is a terrible flag.</p>
    <p>If New Zealand wanted to pick the most boring flag then it would choose Red Peak.</p>

    <p>Sigh, give up Winger. Looks like the status quo is going to stay and the idiots who thought they could stick it to John Key by fluffing for red peak have blown it.</p>

    <p>Who knew that trying to ram your opinions down people's throats like its the gospel would be met by such derision/disinterest?</p>

    <p>dunno, I reckon a good portion of these people 'supposedly' keen on RP will be those who are just trying to be disruptive to the entire process in the hope of retaining the status quo, and to that end, they will have achived what they wanted.</p>

    You're probably right but the sight of the nations leftards ,Campbell dead fans , Prius drivers and Dalai Lama botherers waffling about it is enough to put anyone off

    Of course they did , as sadly predictable as ever. I see one of them tried to take on Collins over her record on domestic violence , the reaming she got in response was painful to read <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://i.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/music/72576501/judith-collins-im-committed-to-protecting-women-and-children-from-violence'>http://i.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/music/72576501/judith-collins-im-committed-to-protecting-women-and-children-from-violence</a><br><br>

    <p>Obfuscation and entropy. Make any change look harder by confusing the issue. Same thing happened last time we had a referendum here on the Republic. The model was to have a politician-appointed head of state, and so the Monarchists came in with two lines:</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>1) Nothing wrong with things the way they are - remember ANZACs FOUGHT AND DIED UNDER THIS FLAG (though mostly, they didn't)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>2) Do you want to give politicians control of who becomes our President? Ooooooooh.... scary music... conspiracies... politicians aren't to be trusted....</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Anyway, its the standard defence of those who fear change. And not being able to call themselves Royal Fuckheads.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>In reality, it doesn't make much difference to me what our flag/government is.</p>
