Why is wales not represented on the flag union jack?
Because at the time the Union Jack was created in the early 18th Century, Wales was not legally considered to be a seperate nation and was regarded as being part of England. It was thus not deemed worth including any Welsh symbolism in it. Wales was only disestablished as having seperate national recognition again in Edwardian times. There has recently been a minority campaign to get the Red Dragon included on the Union Jack, but by now most Welsh people don't WANT to be associated with it- they see the Union Jack as the flag of the occupier, and their first loyalty is to the Welsh flag.

Why is there a Jack in the union Jack?
The jack refers to the jackstay of a ship, on which the Union Jack would be displayed. Strictly speaking the flag should be called the Union Flag, but Union Jack is well known. Actually, the union jack is what the flag is called out at sea, but the union flag is what they call it on land.
Why is wales not representeded on the union jack flag?
Because at the time the Union Jack was designed in the early 18th Century, Wales was legally considered to be a part of England and thus not worthy of being legitimised as a seperate entity with a flag of it's own. In recent years, there has been a sporadic camapign in Wales to get the Red Dragon added to it, but by now most Welsh people do not WANT the Welsh flag included! They see themselves as Welsh first and British second (if at all), and fly the Red Dragon in preference to the Union Jack.
Why is wales not representes on the flaf?
Do you mean the flaG? It's because when the Union Jack was created in the early 18th Century, Wales was legally considered to be a part of England, and it was not considered either worth it or politically desirable to incorporate any Welsh symbolism into it. Wales was only officially disestablished as a seperate nation in Edwardian times. Nowadays, although there is a minority campaign to get the Welsh Dragon included in the Union Jack, most Welsh people wouldn't WANT that- they see the Union Flag as the banner of the occupier, and their first loyalty is to the Welsh flag.

Why is wales not represent on the flag?
Because when the Union Jack was designed, Wales was not officially recognised as having seperate nation status- officially, it was classed as being part of England, so the Red Dragon was not included. Nowadays, most Welsh people would not WANT it to be included though- national pride has grown to the extent that the majority of Welsh see their alliegance to their own flag first, and the Union Jack second (if at all!)

Why is wales not repsented on the flag?
This is a question I have answered many times- it's because when the Union Jack was designed in the early 18th Century, Wales was legally a part of England. It had no seperate international recognition, and the English Government regarded it as neither politically desirable nor worth it to include any Welsh symbolism in the Union flag. This situation pertained until the Disestablishment of Wales in Edwardian times. Nowadays, although there is a minority political lobby to get the Red Dragon incorporated to the Union Jack, most Welsh people wouldn't WANT this- their first loyalty is to the Welsh flag, not the Union Jack.
