<p>The need to start again</p>

<p>The 4 flags should be</p>

<p>-The Red Peak</p>
<p>-The tino rangatiratanga flag <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/71655482/why-the-tino-rangatiratanga-flag-should-be-our-national-choice'>http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/71655482/why-the-tino-rangatiratanga-flag-should-be-our-national-choice</a></p>
<p>-A studio designed black white and white or black or silver silver fern option (no other colors allowed)</p>
<p>-One other wildcard option</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then 4 teams with a good budget would promote their options over 3-6 months</p>
<p>Then the 1st vote.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This would work. The process so far would seen as just an essential starting point that produced an interest to move this debate forward</p> -

<p> Definitely. The interest is now there to take this process forward</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It could be great entertainment but only if Key can grasp this opportunity. And have a rethink</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Otherwise we will vote to stick with the current flag. The current selections have already been thoroughly discredited (and rightly so)</p> -

Wingers like basil fawlty talking to a foreigner. If he just repeats the same message over and over,louder and louder he thinks we will "get it". <br><br>
Seriously winger you are perfectly entitled to your opinion and jeez we all know yr feelings but it is ok to have a contrary pov or even to be apathetic about the issue. <br><br>

My old man does that overseas, he's also deaf which makes it even more difficult for Johnny Foreigner to converse with him. When they were in Italy years ago they gave all their money to the most messed up looking begger outside their hotel . Apparently he looked horrified and tried to give it back which they took as some sort of humble gesture. As they drove away in the cab they saw a couple of other beggers had limped over and beat the shit out of him and stole the cash.<br><br>
Italy has a distinctive flag though, I'm sure WInger approves. -
<p>Give it a rest Winger, I am sick of your spamming. You are just repeating the same thing again and again.</p>

<p>Fine. Then I would vote for one of the other 3 options.</p>

<p>And the wildcard might be another fern option for those that want a fern. But if they found the right world class designers as SA did I'm sure they could come up with a great design as 1 of the 4 options.</p> -

<p>Thats just it. No one liked any of the designs, regardless of who the designers were. The final flag was a modified version of one of the flags submitted. I'm not surprised, change is difficult</p> -
