Monarchy to return to Austria?

[Otto Prohaska]

Plus I think it is still illegal in Austria.

It is. The nobility are not even allowed by law to use their full surnames. Inside Austria's borders there is no "Karl von Habsburg", he is simply "Karl Habsburg-Lothringen".

If they come back all hell and fury like they were than it's fine by me, if they return all lilly livered pussies like today's royal families, then what's the use anyway?

[Aunt Hilda]

True. Even if the Habsburg monarchy comes back, they will just be puppets of an elected government (constitutional monarchy) like the UK, Denmark, Sweden etc. Get paid tax money to live in palaces and look pretty.

don't know about Denmark or sweden , but the UK ones get so much money because they own a shitload of land, and buildings(which they rent out to the government)

This will never happen in thousands of years.

[Szegedist]

Thousand years is a very long time. Think of how much has changed between 1000 to 2000
