Thanks, Midnight, I'm sure the rules are different everywhere. I haven't been to New Zealand (it's on my bucket list!) so can't really comment on how things work there.
In the UK the rules are likely driven by the fact that many roundabouts have multiple lanes (sometimes as many as five or six) and in many cases two lanes can be used to take a particular exit, but one of those two (the inner one) can be used to continue on the roundabout. The need to signal helps those on the roundabout and those entering. For a single lane roundabout it's not so important, but still helps those entering plan the next few seconds, e.g., do I slow down to time my entry or do I need to come to a stop?
Probably not going to happen here unfortunately...
