The European Union flag: What do you think?

Asked by oratio (8940points) June 4th, 2009

I was surfing for information around the current European Union election, and wondered what people felt about our flag.

It’s quite unique and can’t be confused with other flags, but it doesn’t symbolize anything in particular.

Wikipedia: The blue represents the west, the number of stars represent completeness while their position in a circle represents unity. The stars do not vary according to the members of either organisation as they are intended to represent all the peoples of Europe, even those outside European integration.

Whatever your feelings about the union is:
What do you think about the flag as it is?
Should the number of stars correspond to the number of member states?
