Flag?

[oldrider]

That's the Zionist's plan to take over the West is people who don't vote.

True! - (accepted as tongue in cheek crack at my expressed anti Zionist stance)

I didn't vote because I could support either outcome whereas my wife voted to retain - mainly because she was pissed off with the waste of money involved!

As I have said previously - I do feel a mild loss of opportunity to move forward as a nation - but we can still do that without changing our flag!

Adages spring to mind: "Clothes do not maketh the man" - "You can't judge a book by it's cover" - etc etc etc.

The flag issue has not gone away on this result - the pundits have merely been forced to retrench and plan a new attack - rust fuck it - never sleeps!

I just want to say to all those fellow New Zealanders that voted for change and lost; eat shit, motherfuckers!

I think John Key should give himself a pat on the back.

It was quite likely his politicising of the whole affair that swayed 7% to either change their vote or motivated them to vote when they had decided to abstain (that's me).

Suck my cock John.

And then to read his little statement "now a flag has been decided, I encourage all New Zealanders to use it, embrace it and more importantly, be proud of it".

What a fucking patronising hypocritical wanker.

JK says "please guys just fly a fwag and fworget about the economy."

[Oakie]

Wow, you really have got this whole voting thing sussed, haven't you?

Yep. Some will say it was a clear margin but taking 7% out of the status quo and putting those votes in the change camp would have seen the pretender over the line.

[Oakie]

Very dissapointing. It was probarbly old people that mostly voted for keeping the old flag. Selfish really.

Surprisingly, according to that Kiwi poll thing they are running at present, more younguns (18 to 25 I think) voted for status quo rather than change.

Sorry. Jam on toast for me and i'm feeling fine. I am taking my 85 year old mother shopping tomorrow though...

[Oakie]

Oh I wonder, wonder wonder....

if the unsuccessful flag will now become a popular 'rebel' flag like the old confederate flag in the States.

And then I wonder, wonder, wonder ...

how long it will take before some wowser (and yes I'm looking at you Winston Peters) tries to make it illegal to fly the unsuccesful 'rebel' flag.

The most interesting stuff in this whole debate may be yet to come.

Hate to agree ... but I agree.

Well he could hardly say the opposite could he. Even a silence would be seen as being petulant.

[bogan]

He could say any of those things, I mean, what are we going to do, vote for labour next time?

[Katman]

It would have been somewhat less hypocritical if he'd had the sense to not flaunt his personal preference on his jacket while performing his role as Prime Minister.

But then again, he's come out looking like a fucking egg - so it's a win/win.

Perhaps he's just being a good loser?

Id liked to have seen more people vote for the issue of the flag and not for or against John Key?
There was far to much comment going around on it being his thing and not a country thing.
Id have liked the fern to be our symbol, better than a blind bird that only comes out at night lmao.
I reckon a fresh start would have been great for us!
Ah well its over and it prob wont be revisited in my lifetime so onward and upward
