Key isn't driven by the issue of turning NZ into a republic, and for that reason I'm very happy for him to visit the Queen.
Helen Clark was a declared republican & no doubt had many pent up years of resentment toward the monarchy as lefties often do. I can only imagine the vitriol Clark, Wilson, & H2 would've spewed behind closed doors.
So while Clark had to meet the Queen as part of her duties of state, the meetings came across as phony & dishonest.
Key & Bronagh, on the other hand, are doing New Zealand proud.
