| Message | A VERY small change of the current flag |

| Message | This would be a "conferalist" flag? NO! If the PCLRA are serious about flag changes, name changes etc., you must realise that requires the support of 2/3 of the whole parliament, so you really need the vast majority of parties to support the change and you should negotiate with others, if you're serious about a change. |

| Message | Otherwise you're just wasting your own time making these flags. I think I've said that before. It's the last time I'll say it aswell. Fair enough if you want to keep wasting your time designing flags etc. that won't get passed. |

| Message | In principle, we can support this. Conceptually, it works, and we will cast a yes vote for something of this nature. We would like to have a little more discussion first, so we won't support this specific action, but we agree in principle to the addition of the 5 stars. |

| Message | "but we agree in principle to the addition of the 5 stars." Would you prefer 8 stars? :D |

| Message | Well, we would like to see room to add additional stars in time...at least 4...but we can stick with 5 for the interim... |
| Date | 19:47:33, April 05, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the New Flag |
| Message | This looks okay - although a little busy. I think - if we're serious about adding the stars, we should see if we can't remove the dove. |

| Message | Wow, is this a new imperalist position of the SUDJ? |
| Date | 23:58:28, April 05, 2008 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the New Flag |
| Message | How is that imperialist? We happen to like our flag, and would rather that - whatever iteration we keep - never gets complicated beyond the point that a child could draw one at school, with a little work. The Dove was initially a temporary measure that kind of stuck, and breaks one of the main design features of the flag - which was always that it could be hung either horizontally OR vertically. The stars are not unattractive, don't really break the idea of the flag (if one looks carefully, the 5 prefectures are all already delineated in the flag as it stands)... and would certainly be a fitting replacement for the dove, at the very least. |
