845745 2010-01-07 08:09:00 Want a Republic -

Well this means replacing Queen Elizabeth II with a politician.

Please nominate for me just one politician that one could regard with the same respect as is held for the Queen -

Even Prince Charles for all his indiscretions and failings would get more respect than any politician.

Do an honest cost/benefit analysis on any change to a republic and I suspect that the proposal would fail.

As for NZ joining Australia , its a great idea, Australia has the 16th largest economy in the world, and this with a population of just under 22 million.
Unfortunately for NZ, why would Australia want to run with such an idea - on a cost benefit analysis, NZ gets the majority of the benefit while Australia picks up the costs.
