[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Mr Key, who on Monday called an [url=http://www.enread.com/news/politics/95901.html]election[/url] for 20 September, said the vote would be held within three years. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The current flag shows the Southern Cross constellation and includes the Union Jack - the UK's national flag - in one corner. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Mr Key said the flag represented a period of history from which New Zealand had moved on. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"It's my belief... that the design of the New Zealand flag symbolises a colonial and post-colonial era whose time has passed," he said in a speech at Victoria University. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"The flag remains dominated by the Union Jack in a way that we ourselves are no longer dominated by the United Kingdom."[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"I am proposing that we take one more step in the evolution of modern New Zealand by acknowledging our independence through a new flag."[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Mr Key said that he liked the silver fern - popularised by national teams including the All Blacks - as an option, saying efforts by [url=http://www.enread.com/news/politics/95901.html]New Zealand[/url]'s athletes gave "the silver fern on a black background a distinctive and uniquely New Zealand identity".[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]But he said he was open to all ideas and that retaining the current flag was "a very possible outcome of this process".[/size][/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][font=simsun][size=13.63636302947998px][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][font=simsun]
