    I wish I could feel as motivated to vote for a change as some others appear to be.

    For me there's no compelling reason why it should change, I don't see the flag as a 'brand/logo'. I'm happy to wait until NZ becomes a republic, and the longer that takes, the better – "marry (or in this case divorce?) in haste, repent at leisure" as the saying goes.

    If it was a compelling alternative design, I might be motivated.

    Don't care what JK, DC etc etc think.

    However...having listened to some kids on the radio having a flag debate in class, I feel like maybe it should be more up to them than me, and they voted for change. I think it will be a close result.

    I'd hardly call it a big day, but if it makes you happy then yeah, biggest day ever . . . or something.

    Good point. We haven't been informed if this is a "binding" referendum yet. Like all the others, a politician can come along and ignore the wishes of the voters.

    They rigged the vote paper as much as they could by presenting the new flag on the top! - And how many languages does this country have? ffs!

    It should have been the current flag on top and/or the new proposed flag on the bottom - I.E. Question? retain the current flag or replace it with this flag?

    I currently don't have strong preference for the old flag or the new one - just do not think it important enough issue to warrant the expense and attention!

    Think I will return my paper and vote for the old flag simply as a protest toward their blatant bias and dishonesty! - Cheeky pricks!

    Do you know the difference between fact & opinion?
    I seriously doubt that anyone will fail to identify the flag they want and just select the first option based on your logic.
    Why not: Question? Change to the new flag or not?

    I don't see anything dishonest or deceptive about the order of the flags.
