PE01810: Replace the European Union Flag with the Commonwealth Flag

I strongly object to this proposal. No, the commonwealth flag should not be flown as it is an outdated symbol of empire and colonialism. The European flag with its 12 stars do not represent the countries of Europe but rather are a symbol of completeness & unity (12 months in the year, 12 points on a clock face). Scotland voted to remain with our European neighbours & we should reflect that by continuing to fly the flag.

Thankfully we are no longer part of the EU so why would we fly the flag of an organisation we are not part of?

I do not agree with this at all. The notion of the British Commonwealth is colonialist and outdated whereas our links with the EU are ongoing despite Scotland being taken out of the EU against our majority vote of 60%+ to Remain. Please keep flying the EU flag.

No keep the European Union flag flying ! .Respect the vote. Scotland voted to remain and not to try and resurrect the Empire.

I feel strongly that we should keep the EU flag. I still feel more connected to Europe than the Commonwealth.

I do not agree with this at all. Scotland has ancient historic links with Europe, and has benefitted enormously from its support in recent years. It will hopefully become an independent country within Europe before too long. The European flag should continue to be flown

No - we should dismantle the British Empire.
