Suppose that, sometime in the near future, all of the surviving royal families of Europe try to take control of their respective countries again. Military units responsible for protecting their king/queen like the British Foot Guard are completely loyal to the monarchist cause, the rest of the armed forces are split between supporting and putting down the coup. The population of these countries are split the same way. In Italy the Pope is attempting to reform the Papal States and enjoys a 70% support from the military and population.

Who succeeds? What does the rest of the world do?

Simple answer:

The part with a half a brain succeeds.

Who in their right mind (as constitutional a monarchist as I am) would support a monarchy like that?

People are to educated to accept a hereditary monarchy such as that in ANY european country that you fancy.

In my country I am happy to support our monarchy as the head of state becaue she has no power. Our power as everybody knows lays with the politicians and the people.

As unfortunate as that may be :S

Things to do in case of Monarchist Revolution.

Better than primetime TV!

China seizes the opportunity to begin a conquest of Africa. US watches, helpess, unable to defend what little supporters it has left there being tied up in Middle Eastern and European affairs. Europe becomes a bunch of wannabe empires again, someone dates his cousin, and a crazy guy begins a crusade of some sort. Needless to say, in the age of orbital installation-launched thermonuclear weapons, his error is immense and the strongest military power in the land of the setting sun descends into anarchy. Meanwhile, China moves on US, which, weakened, resorts to the good ol' "let's nuke their capital" strategy. Turns out it's not all that good, since 10 years later, everyone's speaking Chinese.

I'd fight the monarchs!

Are you really retarded?

I'm with the south islands on that one.

And I live in a monarchist state.

PS.

I sneaked some scotch whisky in as redbull.

Tolkien's elves would sail out of the West and restore order, of course.

Really, now, this is such a complete fantasy that you can hypothesize any outcome you wish. It has no grounds in what most of us agree is reality.

:rolleyes:

On that note I declare that the mancunians discover a means of producing whisky out of beautiful womens nipples, who are born every 5 seconds , meaning whisky for every man on the planet.

And? When has reality gotten in the way of what people post on NS? :D

Eh? British Foot Guard? Whit? That sounds like an Athlete's Foot cream.

I suspect you mean the Lifeguards. Which admittedly sounds like a soap or deodorant.

I supose the difference is just cosmetic mind you....:)

Hmm....what would I do? Lessee...i'd run around dressed up as a scrotum (complete with fluffy pubic hair) while handing out serves of chilli blancmange, and towel-snapping passers-by. That would probably make more sense.

well seeing as the majority of the population think that the monarchy are prats and that includes the military

i don't think what your talking about could happen in britain at the moment

though if it did i'd fight against them

though wales would probably tell them to go f**k them selves anyway and try to declare independence (the last bit mainly the W.L.A.)

Monarchy is underrated.

Almost certainly I'd do the twist.
Then I'd make a bunch of archaic music references from songs that have been referenced so many other times that no one really remembers where the reference first came from.
After that I'd overanalyze my own statements, thus revealing my current state of confusion and lack of self confidence.
