I think I must've explained my point badly because I'm not sure your response follows from what I meant to say.
I don't give a fuck about flags, but a vast majority of voters feel very positive about them. When we as a party of government appear to feel ashamed of that flag, it not only excludes those voters, it also feeds into the idea that we are weak on security. I think it's reasonable for a voter to want the potential leader of a country to be proud of that country and want the best for it. Showing that we are not ashamed of the flag which represents that country is a good way NOT to exclude those people.
