| 845708 | 2010-01-05 00:56:00 | Actually, it'll save us a damn fortune. Look at it this way: - Nasty old white mofos "steal Maori land" (on behalf of the Crown) - On behalf of said Crown, generations of Kiwis pay "compensation" to protesters born generations after the fact. Remove the link to the Crown, and their beef is now directly with the Crown. Let them try to convince Her Majesty that she is personally responsible for the alleged misdeeds of British citizens who died 100 years before she was even born. Result: More Kiwi tax dollars going where they should be: to schools and hospitals instead of "compensating" whiners who have suffered not one bit. Republic sounds pretty attractive now.... If your only reason for going for a republic is the Treaty of Waitangi then think again. As a republic we get to keep it. |

| 845711 | 2010-01-05 01:26:00 | Agreed. x2. Any chance of getting a referendum to repeal the thing? Despite the fact that we'd all be branded white mofos. |

| 845714 | 2010-01-05 23:02:00 | Can we afford it? Everything The cause for a republic is for people with little else to occupy their time. Give them something constructive to keep them busy and they won't have time for something that is a complete waste of time, money and resources.:horrified What's wrong with the status quo? No-one is being disadvantaged, the monarchy is causing no problems. Why try to fix something that's not broken?:illogical How about fixing things that really matter? The money would be much better spent on our ailing health system - don't you care about the sick? Our schools never have enough funding - don't you care about your kids' education? The police are always under-resourced - are you not interested in a crime-free country? Leave our constitution alone and get on with the important things this country really needs. x2 :clap |

Next thing cricket and cucumber sandwiches will be banned. Yeah Sweep the German model they know all about democracy we have to keep fighting them all the time. Irish bomb tossing model? Arent the options supposed to be neutral? words like absentee, selected by birth are slanting the preferences to dumb people. It has to be remembered that like Blunt, Philby, MacClean, Burgess, his allegiance may lie elsewhere, not to this country or to the Monarchy |
