“I am proposing that we take one more step in the evolution of modern New Zealand by acknowledging our independence through a new flag”, he said. To solve the problem of the flag, it should organize a referendum.
The Prime Minister John Key suggested that a new flag for the New Zealand country could contain the silver fern actually popularized by national teams. More exactly, it’s about “the silver fern on a black background, a distinctive and uniquely New Zealand identity.”
Other ideas will be examined if proposed.. He even considered the possibility to retain the current flag if people will want to do this. At this time, one poll last month showed that only 28 percent of respondents want to change the flag. This idea has also supporters and opponents in the political parties from the country.
