There are examples of returning from a Republic - mostly historical, of course, like the Netherlands, but also more recent like Spain in 1976. There are serious restoration movements in some eastern European countries, Russia and France, though I'm not sure any will be successful. Certainly not the French one. The Cook Islands and New Zealand Maoris both claim they would seek their own independent constitutional monarchies in the event of a New Zealand Republic, though this has yet to be tested.

Nick, monarchism in Eastern Europe is going very well, especially in Bulgaria where CP Mr. Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is Prime Minister, a similar tactic to what they are trying in Romania. A restoration of the Serb Monarchy was debated in 1999 when considering the fate of the former republic of Yugoslavia, even those with ideolgical problems with it addmitted they would be willing to look past it as a way of burying the past.

I wish them all the bets of luck and support.

Author: Ed Harris (Venezia) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 01:44:04 11/20/04 Sat The last of the De Bourbons is a young drunken Lesbian of immense personal charm. We were once the only two men on a party trip to Paris. I always thought that this would be an impediment to a royalist recrudescence, but now that I think of France as it is, it seems more and more plausible! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
