The Republic of New Zealand Party (RONZP or "The Republicans") was a political party in New Zealand. The party's registration was cancelled at its own request in 2009.〔 It was not affiliated to the New Zealand Republic, which is a non-partisan organisation that does not share any of the party's policy platforms. Despite deregistering, a handful of the party's members remained active under its banner - burning the New Zealand flag at parliament in March 2010. In September 2011 the party announced it would merge with the OurNZ Party.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Our NZ has a constitution )〕 However, the merger appears to have not gone ahead, as the party continues to issue media releases. Recent media releases have indicated the party is working with the Human Rights Party.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A private member's bill to include omitted children's rights is suggested and public discussion of ethical human rights )〕 == Background == John Kairau founded the party, which merged with another group in April 2005. In an interview with the ''New Zealand Herald'', Kairau said "The party's aim is simple: to cut all ties with the British monarchy and install a New Zealander as head of state. A president, elected at large by the citizens, would replace the Governor-General as a figurehead, with parliament continuing as normal." He claimed the party had 3,000 members.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Small parties battle election arithmetic )〕 In 2009 the party was deregistered for failing to file a donations return, and failed to re-register itself in time for the 2011 general election, and did not run any candidates.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Republic of New Zealand Party」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
