[Methmatician]

No i am against revival of our occupators,they destroyed a lot for bosniaks

Actually, they created (modern) Bosniaks So technically they didn't destroy anything for Bosniaks, just 'Turks'.

Schwarz-Gelbe Allianz

The black yellow alliance is very odd.

After more than 800 years of rule of the House of Habsburg, Austria dissolved its monarchy after World War I and introduced a republic.
The Black-Yellow Alliance calls for the reintroduction of hereditary monarchy in Central Europe and advocates a union of Austria, Hungary, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Slovakia, united under a common emperor.^[1]
The president of the party currently is tourism school professor Helga Vereno.

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?

I don't know how that would benefit Europe if they return? Will they handle the current problems of Europe better then the current form of governance? Then again perhaps they will get things done easier then democratic government who is bound by popular opinion.

I suppose if they returned weak they might as well have stay in the past.

I must admit that the though of a Kaiser raising hell and getting things done in Europe is appealing to me but I got to ask my self is it at a cost of a different future that will have a better political system that the current one or the Monarchy.

In the spirit of this thread here is the old Empire anthem.

Have your say
Should Germany bring back the royal family?

Published: 14 Mar 12 14:42 CET | Print version



Germany got rid of its last Kaiser nearly a century ago, but the country remains fascinated by royals. One of the Kaiser’s descendants says royalty would help the country – but should Germany reinstate the monarchy? Have your say.

• Prince: Germany should reinstate monarchy - National (14 Mar 12)
• Kaiser heir weds princess in Potsdam - Society (27 Aug 11)
• British ambassador stunned by interest in royal wedding - Society (29 Apr 11)

The Kaiser’s descendants still live aristocratic lives even though the royal family was abolished in 1918 after defeat in World War I. And last summer, the wedding of Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia attracted not only a good showing of European royal guests but also the attention of the German public.

They are still excited by the royal families of nearby countries, and positively gorged themselves on last year’s wedding of British Prince William, which was broadcast live on four national television channels

A possibly increasing acceptance and even popularity of Germany’s home grown monarchy is no doubt linked with the young, educated and affable Prince Georg. His rare public appearances, fresh-faced good looks and reticence would certainly offer a contrast to the grey-haired politicians representing the country.

Germany's presidential post has hardly been covered in glory recently, having been held by two politicians, one of whom resigned arguably too early, the other too late. The debacle over Christian Wulff’s resignation prompted one of the Kaiser’s great-great grandsons to argue this week that a monarchy would be good for the country.

But would a restored monarchy – presumably along British or Swedish-type constitutional lines – be a good thing for Germany? Have your say below.

okupator je okupator

In what way?

They want to restore hereditary monarchy to central European countries but Croatia dose not really have a monarchy left? I mean sure we have some parts of the nobility left as we can see on this site http://plemstvo.hr/ but who would be king of Croatia?

I am unfamiliar with the state of the Slovenia monarchy so I will ask a few of the Slovenes to contribute.

That would be interesting. Being neibourgh with monarchy. Well what would be they striving for? I bet something like Otto von Habsburg did. Which means pro-EU, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...european_Union

If we count current Croatia as full succesor of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom...oatia-Slavonia then i would say Habsburgs would be first in line to become kings ofc. at least from heridetary point of view. As for Slovenia if we link current state with Carniola (which is dubious since much of current SLO was also Styria, Gorizia, etc.) then they can become our dukes. However i sincerly don't think monarchic ideology would have much support among ppl these days altho in media i read many Slovenes want us to become part of Austria. That is much more probable than monarchy. LuLz
