"The Nineteenth century saw a great Springtime of Nations as the revolutions of 1848 saw new countries created the length and breadth of Europe. In our world today we are now seeing our own Spring Awakening with people and cultures that have long been dormant and subdued asserting their right to exist, their right to dream." Adam Price MP

Very pretty indeed, but what does it represent, an olive branch to Cymru? And are the thistle, shamrock and rose meant to represent our sister nations, or are they the dependendant nations of a British state?

Another inconsistency (from your last post)
Scotland has the Lord Lyon. The rest of the UK + CI & IOM have to follow the English College of Arms.
The Lord Lyon is now a highly anglicised body, although it originates with the Ollamh Righ.
