        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews It's not so much us voting to keep the Union Jack, as us rejecting a flipping sports logo as a flag. #nzflag

        @santolaya11 @BBCBreaking The Union Jack doesn't belong on another country's flag. But neither does a symbol that represents a rugby team!

        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews because the alternative was awful, rather than because everyone's into the union flag.

        @BBCBreaking it's about more than the detail on the flag. Many people like the new designs but dislike the motivation, timing, extra costs.
