| Message | What possible significance does the new flag have to our nations? And why is your short attention span a reason to discard national heritage? |

| Message | Short attention span? hrmm......... I agree that we havent been a party in this nation for as long as you have so perhaps a brief history lesson is in order. So Likaton Coalition of the Willing what is the history behind our flag? (that isn't meant as a sarcastic comeback, we are generally interested) |

| Message | Designed when Likatonia was a true republic, the Likaton flag contains five stars, representing the five prefectures. The dove motif was added following a period of war with our neighbours, to signify our desire for peace. |

| Message | And yet the flag still flies. Seriously, the flag was specifically designed. Personal preference aside, no one in this Party will support change for change's sake. There should be something more to our national insignia than that. |

| Message | Could we possibly add a few more symbols to our current flag, possibly representing more recent success in our nation? |

| Message | If the NKRP want to propose a new flag of that nature, they have every right to.... OOC: IF you go on the forums, you might be able to find someone who would put something together; or you could photoshop something yourself..... |
