<p>Depends how many votes weren't considered because people did things like draw dicks all over the voting paper (I didn't draw dicks all over the voting paper).</p> -
<p>The appetite for change is definitely there - unfortunately some were voting against JK whereas others were voting against the alternate design. Will be interesting to see the political environment when we next vote on a change and whether people can look past the personalties... </p>

<p>sadly there will always be those...you will never please everyone, so not sure how they could change the process for change any better, if any other design I saw had made it, I am not sure how I'd of voted if I didnt like it.</p>

<p>Boo. I'm pretty disappointed. The more I saw the Lockwood flag flying, the more I wanted it to be official. And the union jack just irritates me now, when it didn't so much before.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Leftards will take the win, but nowhere near as clear cut as they thought.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think this whole campaign has proven though, that the universal vote isn't necessarily a good thing. Fuck there are some giant wankpuffins in this country.</p> -

<p>I don't know about that, the genie is kind of out of the bottle now. Like Mokey mentioned something that many of us were pretty 'meh' about (the Union Jack) feels far more in your face wrong than it used to.</p> -

<p>We brought back knighthoods so I'm surprised you lot are all stumped that we kept a union jack flag.</p> -
<p>I'm not surprised the vote went that way, just disappointed, plus I voted to change our flag, not severe ties with the UK</p>

<p>Lefttards like the RSA? As I noted in my earlier post, I know as many rightie tighties who voted for the colonial oppressors'
flag as lefttards did. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>All of them suck. </p>

<p>I have an AB flag and a strip of black tape (to cover the AB) which will be the flag I fly at sporting events and Waitangi Day.</p> -

<p>Leftards are the ones that voted not because they wanted to keep the old one or didn't like the new option but because they wanted to give John Key a bloody nose. If you didn't vote for change for anything other than the first two reasons you're a childish wankstain, </p> -

<p>Peter Dunne wants a referendum on becoming a republic now. I couldn't really care less is we are to be honest, I did want our own flag though. </p> -

<p>Peter Dunne is a complete idiot. If people thought the flag referendum was a waste of money, one on becoming a republic would be so about a thousand times more.</p> -

<p>The only thing that makes me want to see this is watching leftards tie themselves in knots arguing against becoming a republic like they did with the flag.</p> -
TR - you could troll a few lefties by pointing out that more people voted for the Lockwood flag then for Labour in the last 3 elections.
