This is a good topic Yorick.
IMO, it wont happen until I am dead, mainly because there is too much anti-Australian and anti-American sentiment. I think that if we want to be a big country which attacks terrorists, then we should go live in America. I dont want Bush for a president. Heck I dont even want a president. Our Prime Minister is bad enough as it is.
Sure the economic benefits would be good for all the countries, but New Zealand would certainly be absorbed to the US pretty quick. We would lose our identity, which is one of the few things we do own.
And we would have to allow nuclear power plants on our land and nuclear ships in our oceans. Which arent allowed now.
NUCLEAR-FREE NZ!
