Such a simple fix.
Why doesn't the UK make its flag symmetrical?

The reason that the UK flag is not symmetrical is because of the relative positions of the saltires of St Patrick and St Andrew. The red saltire of St Patrick is offset such that it does not relegate the white saltire of St Andrew to a mere border.
Henry Allen
Except that in its current configuration, St. Patrick's salt now looks like a misshapen swastika. Meanwhile the St. Andrew is clearly discernible, as with the blue field.

I actually didn't realize they were asymmetrical for the longest time. Took a good look at the flag one day and then noticed it. I didn't like it at first, but now I actually like the asymmetry. It's quite aesthetic
Lucas Powell
That works too, but the way it currently, the flag can be upside down. Important if back in the day you wanted to let other ships know you were in trouble.

symmetrical flags are for non-countries

No.
Camden Lee
Honestly prefer this one.
UK one looks too messy for a flag
Cameron Gonzalez
This one that really should be.
Balkanization of """"""great"""""" britain when?

You cannot have one flag laying flat over another because it would look like it's taking priority and it's rude.

Wales was never a single kingdom. Neither was Ireland really if you think about it, but we called it one and then incorporated when Napoleon scared us.
Lucas Johnson
I've actually never noticed that before. Now I feel stupid.

The empty white saltire looks weird when contrasted with the white-outlined red cross.
English flag has too much blank space on it. Gives a very sterile feeling.

Best UK flag, coming through.

"West Yorkshire" flag is actually the West Riding flag which covers both West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire (and part of North Yorkshire, along with other places which Westminster bastards split off from Yorkshire and gave to other counties when they divided it up).
West Yorkshire itself doesn't have its own flag. Same story goes for the "North Yorkshire" flag, which is actually the North Riding flag.
And bloody hell, the South Yorkshire flag is so shit. Who would want to use that over the West Riding flag? At least it's unofficial...
