New Zealand Flag to Stay
New Zealand has voted to keep its current national flag
The second and final vote in the $26 million process, closed at 7pm on Thursday before Easter.
More than 1.2 million people voted to keep the current flag.
More than 915,000 voted for the alternative flag, which was designed by New Zealander Kyle Lockwood.
Deputy Prime Minister Bill English said it had been a robust democratic process that allowed New Zealand to discuss how it wanted to be represented on the world stage.
Labour leader Andrew Little, however, said Mr Key had “split the nation and achieved nothing”.
Alternative : Available as another possibility or choice.
Democratic :Relating to or supporting democracy or its principles.
Represented:To be entitled or appointed to act.
My opinion: I never wanted the flag to change so I am very happy.
