May I introduce you to "Boaty McBoatface"?

I think flag contests have a lot of potential for fun creativity, but also great capacity to go poorly. As an example of the latter, you all made the poor choice of voting for my flag during the crystal jubilee celebration :P

In my humble opinion, rather than leaving the decision up to a straight vote, it could be prudent to have something of a regional discussion about it. If someone thinks they have a design that's better than the current, bring it forward, plead your case, let others respond and show counter examples. All the while leaving the final decision up to folks who are proven to understand the region and its history and who can be trusted to curate its appearance.

I acknowledge this isn't the truly democratic way, but I think there are benefits to this method. However, I also think the current flag is perfect for the region.
