That's something that can't happen with our flag (Spain).

Just for curiosity, why is your flag that way? I mean, why does it have the little red cross not in the middle of the white cross?

it's not a flag for one country, it comes with st george's cross (England)  st Andrew's cross (scotland) and st patricks cross (ireland)

Yes, I understand that. What I'm asking is, if the Union flag came from something like this:

Why didn't they put St patrick's cross just in the middle of St Andrew's cross? Wouldn't that be easier?
