Congratulations to Winston Peters and the NZ First party backing the RSA in the Government trying to force through a change of our national flag.

I call all other political parties against this proposal to all stand up and be counted. As John Key has no intention of taking notice of public opinion I suggest other parties back the RSA and start a public petition.

I don't believe John Key saying: 'In the end you have to say what price do you put on democracy where people can genuinely have their say on a matter” is actually important when he does not listen.

Again I feel this is John Key's first step to make New Zealand a republic.

Are we prepared to sit back and let John Key tell us what is best for our country? Think about do you want our children and their children to feel sorry we did not fight to leave them a country to be proud of?

Strength and solidarity will win the day. Stop our national heritage being lost by supporting your RSA.

K Allen, Katikati.
