IMO, the current one is the best, and the 1835 chiefs’ one a close second; the others don’t even come close…

The flags I want for NZ, in order.
1. The blue ensign: our current flag.
2. The 1835 confederation of cheifs flag.
3. The hunterwasser (spiral) flag.
4. The silver fern.

And I really want option one or two.

I’ve seen pavement pizza outside a pub that looked better than that ‘effort’ by Frizzel.

If this is what’s considered elite then what’s left to define jackass?

The United Tribes had a better grip on taste 180 years ago.

(I didn’t even mention my province, or home region; my identity also encompasses these.)

I like that 1835 Maori flag.

I loathe that 2015 proposal.

Spot on post.

I am a British North American; the old Red Ensign is my flag.

I am an Ulster-Scots Canadian, descended from Irish potato famine refugees.

I am also a product of the East Indian diaspora, for which I also thank the British.

I am a Reformed Protestant Christian.

And so on. Overlapping identities; common sets with different groups of people.

Identity is complex. Progs seek to oversimplify it.

Do not be like them; do not be them.
