	Monarchy in New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy and a Commonwealth Realm, with Queen Elizabeth II as its reigning monarch, since February 6, 1952.
		Similarly the oath of allegiance to New Zealand, sworn by new citizens, the New Zealand Defence Force, New Zealand Police officers, and parliamentarians, is an oath of allegiance to the monarch as sovereign of New Zealand, and to his/her heirs and successors according to law.
		In 1907 New Zealand achieved the status of Dominion, which meant it was a country of the British Empire and later the Commonwealth of Nations, with autonomy in domestic and foreign affairs.

		Britain's entry into the new imperial age is often dated to 1875, when the Conservative government of Benjamin Disraeli bought the indebted Egyptian ruler Ismail's shareholding in the Suez Canal to secure control of this strategic waterway, a channel for shipping between Britain and India since its opening six years earlier under Emperor Napoleon III.
		Britain's adoption of the New Imperialism may be seen as a quest for captive markets or fields for investment of surplus capital, or as a primarily strategic or pre-emptive attempt to protect existing trade links and to prevent the absorption of overseas markets into the increasingly closed imperial trading blocs of rival powers.
		Leaders of the new states joined with British statesmen in periodic Colonial (from 1907, Imperial) Conferences, the first of which was held in London in 1887.

		It is hardly fair that we abolish the monarchy because it is undemocratic, and then replace it with a system where politicians get to choose one of their friends to be the President.
		The average New Zealander, who might well have doubts about the usefulness of a head of state chosen by mere chance, would have just as great, if not greater doubts about the head of state being chosen by political patronage.
		Under the monarchy, the head of state is tied by history and destiny to serving the commonwealth, as opposed to deliberately choosing a path of political power.

		Ms Clark said there was "scarcely even a debate" about the role of the monarchy, but that at some point "New Zealand will take the step of having a head of state domiciled here".

		New Zealand and other "old" Commonwealth countries (Australia and Canada) have now evolved to independent countries that has its own laws governing monarch succession, and the only constitution ties with Britain itself is that we share the same current monarch of the United Kingdom.
		Monarchy is an anachronism, and is antithical to democracy.
		For me, New Zealand (or Australia, or Canada, or Britain etc) dropping the monarchy would be the same thing as the U.S. deciding that the Constitution is old and out of date, so just scrap it.

	Correspondents Report - Future of the monarchy debated in NZ
		It's still to be seen if New Zealanders will react more enthusiastically to his presence than Australians, who've been rather more preoccupied with the visit of our own Princess from Denmark.
		And the other crucial difference is that in New Zealand we had a strong Maori population, who potentially could've been, because they were in a sense victims of British Imperialism, critical of the Crown and Republican in instinct.
		So, the one group in New Zealand society that one might've thought could've been Republican, in fact saw the Crown as their way out, as their potential place to which they could appeal to against local Government.

		As for the Monarchy being 'defunct', well as the Queen is still very much 'at the helm' I that that is a bit premature.
		There may be an anti-Monarchy Movement in New Zealand but, to the best of my knowledge, it is a very small minority who are pushing for this action.
		Maybe New Zealand has a closer tie with the British monarchy than Australia has - I don't know - (I will take your word for that), but as far as Australia is concerned; when the initial polls were taken they showed a three out of four votes for an Australian Republic.
