Restoration of Poland's Monarchy? [40]
I am for it
Can you tell me why? What do you think Poland would be like, under the rule of a King or Queen as opposed to a President? Would it increase the national pride that the people of Poland so rightfully deserve?
However, I think it not posible to happen in the forseeable future.
Again, can you tell me why? :)
Our royal crowns and other royal attributes were stolen by the Prusians from Kraków in 1794 and probably melted into gold by these barbarians who had no respect for such things.
Sick. The work of twisted and paranoid minds, I am sure.
Notice, however, that neither of independent state which came into being in Central or Eastern Europe after the WW I restored or introduced monarchy (except, if I'm not mistaken, Yougoslavia and Romania) and some countries of the "old" Europe said good-bye to theirs (Germany) or even acted beyond that forbiding members of their royal families from entering the country (Austria).
Or murdered them, in the case of the Russian Imperial family.
There are a few monarchists in PL however it's a fringe thing. I've never heard anyone seriously propose restoring a monarchy, and indeed when one existed it didn't end well.
Would you say that was circumstantial (the character of monarchic rulers, Polish and global economy and wars at the time, impending annexations, etc), or the fault of the monarchy overall?
