Should we Include the Welsh Dragon in the Union Flag
I dont think so because the Act of Union (1536) Brought them together as one. I have nothing against the welsh dragon - I just dont think It would sit nicely upon our flag.
Opinions??

Re: Should we Include the Welsh Dragon in the Union Flag
If anything were to be included it would be the Cross of St. David, because the Union Flag is composed of crosses, not national symbols.

Re: Should we Include the Welsh Dragon in the Union Flag
How would incorporate the yellow on black cross and still make the Union Jack look good?

Re: Should we Include the Welsh Dragon in the Union Flag
It'd be hard, but I think I've seen it done okay.
A better method might be, if Wales really really wants in, to scrap the Union Flag and replace it with something incorporating national symbols as opposed to Saints' crosses.

Scrawl 'Wales says hi' in the middle of the flag...

Re: Should we Include the Welsh Dragon in the Union Flag
I say no as it would make the flag look terrible, furthermore why bother changing one of the most recognisable flags in use, one so awesome that many countries, territories and states use it in their own flags?

Wales is represented in the Union flag, with the red Cross of St George.
