Rejected petition Reinstate the Ulster Banner as the official flag of Northern Ireland.
I want the government to bring back the Ulster Banner as Northern Ireland’s official flag. There isn’t one flag everyone agrees on and the Ulster Banner has history and recognition. Major sporting bodies recognise it such as the PGA and UEFA. So why shouldn’t our own government recognise it?
More details
I want the government to do this because the Ulster Banner is already recognised worldwide and used for Northern Ireland in FIFA golf and the Commonwealth Games. It’s the flag people see when our teams compete so making it official would match what’s already happening in sport and give Northern Ireland one clear recognised symbol of identity instead of the confusion we have now.
