From |  Nous-Mêmes | To | Debating the New Flag | | Message | Agreed, but I'm not a fan of that one. The Moderates will vote against. |

From | Party of the Republic | To | Debating the New Flag | | Message | Whats wrong with it? The other proposed flags havent been really better. |
| Date | 08:32:56, August 05, 2005 CET |
From | Nous-Mêmes | To | Debating the New Flag | | Message | To be honest, and with all due respect, there's not really anything we like about it, though we also agree that the other designs haven't necessarily been the greatest. The Moderates will not bring their flag act to the floor, until there seems to be an agreement on a good flag design. With that, we hope to see anyone with any good design ideas post links in that debate. |

From | Party of the Republic | To | Debating the New Flag | | Message | So..you wont vote for my flag, but you wont give a better example? Except to agree we both dislike the current flag..... |

From | Voice of the People | To | Debating the New Flag | | Message | The Party of the Republic has a good point. Our current flag needs to be changed. We all agree that we don't like the current flag. So unless someone can come up with a better flag, we should go with this new one. The Voice of the People feel that the current no voters are voting that simply out of spite against the Party of the Republic rather than properly considering the flag. While we of the Voice of the People may have our views about the other parties, we are doing our best to try and put our feelings aside to do what is best for the people, and in this instance, the people need a new flag. |

From | Nous-Mêmes | To | Debating the New Flag | | Message | With all due respect to the parties involved, the Moderates agree that the people need a new flag. However, we also feel that if we are going to do this, we must do it right the first time. We just don't feel that this is the right flag for the Republic, though it does seem inspiring enough to create a better design. |

From | Party of the Republic | To | Debating the New Flag | | Message | And yet again no alternatives are offered only veiled insults. If you feel you can do better then lets go and lets see it. |

From | Market Socialist Party | To | Debating the New Flag | | Message | What about the flag the Whig Party choose? That looks like it represents the Republic well. |
| Date | 06:56:01, August 06, 2005 CET |
From | Nous-Mêmes | To | Debating the New Flag | | Message | The Moderates are working on other alternatives, given the negative results of the designs offered so far. If anyone has any ideas we can all put together, that's probably the way to go about it. |
