Should we leave the Commonwealth after the Queen karks it?

REPUBLIC OF NEW ZEALAND

The short answer in my opinion is No! Well... well the old girl is into her 84th year and 60th as the reigning Monarch, with no apparent signs of calling it a day. In 60 years she has met every great name known from JFK, Ghandi, Michael Jackson, Nelson Mandela, GW Bush (both) just to name a few.

Giving up or not. The words muttered under many New Zealanders breaths is should we stay as a Commonwealth country or become a republic? John Key has already indicated that under his government he will not be seeking to turn the country into a republic. Than again he said he was going to mine. 

Becoming a republic could very well upset many things especially with the British. partial loss of International trade, military assistance and many other benefits could be jepardised as a result of forming a republic.

What are your thoughts?
