The majority voted to keep the current flag, how do you extrapolate the majority not liking the current flag from this data point?Ty wrote:
I think the thing this whole process revealed is that the majority of people in NZ don't like the current flag.
NZ doesn't need to start constant wars to fund its industry support and workfare schemes, nor does it have a retarded bipolar democracy.Jay wrote:

Because we were never asked whether we wanted the change the flag. Pretty safe to say the 43.4% who voted for the alternative want change, but among the 56.6% who voted for the status quo, many of them want change but didn't want the Lockwood flag. Many just voted to spite John Key. It's only speculation on my part of course but I think there's enough to support change in the near future.Dilbert_X wrote:

$27m on a few photoshop PSDs and you couldn't even choose one.
this is why you will never be an influence on global affairs.
Possible. But I have been part of this debate for a long time and the conversation has changed significantly. Only a few weirdos like myself used to be into this whole flag change thing, now it's much larger. Before if you asked in a referendum "should we change the flag?", (as many were suggesting should have happened this time,) you probably wouldn't even have had enough returns to call a result. With the current mood I genuinely think there could be a yes result to that question. It's just a shame that wasn't asked as part of the second referendum to give an actual picture and save me speculating.Dilbert_X wrote:
