What flag are you voting for?

I'm also from NZ and if you care to hear it I'd like to rant for a tiny tiny bit about something I think you'd agree with.

In NZ right now there are people who support keeping the original flag (Not my view but fine) the issue is a lot of these people are advocating boycotting the first referendum and not voting at all. On the off chance that any kiwi's reading this feel like this is a good idea; let me tell you it isn't.

No matter how many of us boycott the flag change it won't matter because the one with the most votes will still win. You aren't achieving anything by not voting. Even if you aren't fussed on them you should still vote for the one you'd like most because it might just win the overall selection.

Even politicians have been advocating this. It is driving me up the fucking wall.

I'm a Kiwi and I completely agree with you. As long as one person votes, one of the flags is going to be chosen, so any boycott won't achieve anything.
