One thing that is interesting is how the results stacked up by electorate Shown Here (electionresults.org.nz) what is a bit of a mystery is how in the hell do they get so many invalid votes 4554 :confused: All you have to do is put a tick in the area beside the one you wanted. Is that really to hard for some people ?

A lot of the present flag supporters couldn't spell tick.

SWMBO and I went for the change after a long time of thinking to keep the old flag. By the sound of it, a lot thought like me as the polls were not showing it as close. We did not consider any political influence at all. The vote was quite straightforward........ new flag or old flag.

People who voted to keep the old flag over the new one because they hate John Key, are just a pack of w a n k e r s.

Your pal spent money on a whim that could have bought 2600 hip ops, he can't be forgiven for that.

Would be interesting to know how many people put in a X instead of a ✓ & if they did was it counted as an invalid vote since the voting paper shows a tick ?

Don't know how many CMT chaps on here Ken, but one would have hoped they voted for the Status Quo.

If one didn't "stand to" when the New Zealand flag was lowered last thing in the evening, you had the penalty of the "bull ring" to help you not to forget.

Glad to see you enjoyed your "hot cross buns", then again that's another bit of b/****.

Not at all. They go well with my worship of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. And they taste better than Spaghetti if dribbling butter......Yum

The money would not have been used for anything. It just would have stayed in the gov accounts..

That's only 26 centipedes.
It is more likely they would have invested it in 4 consultants reports.That would have given 4 opinions, all recommending further reports.
