Lik...My favourite is the one with the silver fern.<br /><br />Like you I have no firm opinions, although, I am not entitled much to one because I live in the old (European) mother-country.<br /><br />One point to note though. The Union Jack is the flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. It is *not* the flag of England, which is the cross of St. George. The Union Jack is represents all the nations that make up the Union: Scotland; England; and Ireland. (Wales was conquorered so long ago that it is incoporated by proxy via the cross of St George.). This is a Union that only dates back to 1800. A predecessor union that formed Great Britain dates back to 1707 when the crowns of England and Scotland were unified.<br /><br /><br />Grant D.

Living in Canada, I think a new flag is needed. Not many can distinguish the difference between our flag and Australia's and that's really annoying! Will be interesting to see where this debate goes and I agree with you that a simple design which clearly reflects our amazing country would be fantastic! Thanks for the update.
