Ban the UK & constituent nation flags’ use for political purposes

We believe the flags of the UK and constituent nations are being used by political parties and activists to suggest that they represent the values inherent in these flags. We feel this is dangerous, as we believe that our flags belong to all citizens, irrespective of their political views, race, gender, age or other descriptor. The flag should be a symbol of unity – the common denominator that reflects shared values. We believe they are too precious to be used to become a symbol not of what we share, but what divides us.
