We'd have to call it just Jack?

Scrap it, make something with a fairly prominent Welsh Dragon, because cool. It'd still be slim consolation, though: the Union Jack/Flag is pretty much my favourite flag, aesthetically speaking, so I'll be bummed if we lose it.

Three things will happen

The above

Gerry Adams will still think killing civilians is a path to secession

Wales will still be irrelevant

Sorry. Whenever I hear about prominent IRA figures it makes me think about those damnable Orangemen and ... and ... FUCK OLIVER CROMWELL!!!

True, but the UVF terrorists aren't really applicable to a part of the UK trying to secede. The IRA terrorists are applicable however.

The London Flag Institute proposed to exchange the Scottish blue with plain black.

Interesting. Maybe they should broaden the red "X" since the white part also represents Scotland's flag.

That is disputable. Also, when that vast majority of the Earth's population calls something a particular name, it becomes the generally-accepted name regardless of the original moniker. Everyone calls it the Union Jack.

since the whole independence debate started I've started hearing people switch to calling it the union flag most likely due to news/others stating the difference between flag & jack

I'd say that's bordering on pedantry at this point. I get it, and they may be technically correct, but after generations have referred to it as the Union Jack, that's a bit like expecting Americans to spell "color" with a u.

Maybe they should just say "Fuck you we're keeping the flag anyway".
