I want the same flag. The union jack is a beautiful flag.

I love it too. But if Scotland leaves the union then 'they' are going to remove St. Andrews cross from the flag. Some of the replacement ideas are truly hideous. I'd like to see some replacement ideas that I could live with.

"They" the Scots don't have any authority over the Union flag even if they do leave the Union: even places like Ontario - Canadian province - and Tuvalu - country in the Pacific - have the Union flag in the hoist of their flags, and these jurisdictions have nothing to do with the British government.
Hmm, not a fan of that design personally.
I guess we could just remove the blue and leave it with a white background.
Or a black background, like on the flag of St. David, adding a tangential representation of Wales.
I must admit, I don't have any ideas for a more prominent representation of Wales, and I do think they should have some representation.
The Union flag as is, but with the blue changed to black (representing St. David's flag) is my possibly the best choice.

Isn't this premature? There hasn't been a vote yet!

If it comes to it, we will probably keep the existing flag, whether it is logical or not.

Are you assuming that Scotland would become a republic? I was not aware that this is in view.
In any case, The Queen of Canada, when acting in this capacity, has nothing to do with the British government.

Yes, why not?
For old times sake,
If it comes to it,
but it does not mean an end to a friendship.
Scotland will still be where it is and also the rest of UK.
Neither will be going anywhere,
It looks really depressing to me... like all the life has been sucked out of the UK. It seems like the type of flag we would use to remember a terrible war. That's just my opinion.
A black flag also reminds me of pirates and ISIS.
I don't see why there has to be logic to the flag. The inclusion of blue was based on Scotland, but we could continue to have the colour just because we like it. I'd think many flag don't mean anything, and there are sovereign states which still have our flag in theirs.
Perhaps some countries choose 'pretty' flags, but I doubt there's another country in the world which puts more importance on heraldry than England.
