Talk:Leopold III

Might the Bavarians object to having their own pretender as the Emperor? Benkarnell

I am assuming they did. Zahir 23:02, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

OK. Crazy Soviets, probably no one listened to them anyway. Benkarnell 23:48, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

As the rulers in one of the states, the other electors would still have to take them into consideration and so, to me, it seem unlikely that the majority would vote for someone they know would irk them.--Marc Pasquin 18:43, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I suppose my justification is that the Electors made a mistake, or at least a bare majority of them did. They did something that appealed to them on some level and it turned around and bit them in the ass. Not the first time that has happened in history. Not that it was really a disaster, since the Emperor has no real power. He ultimately made folks uncomfortable and embarrassed people. Zahir 19:05, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Has it been written how the elections work? Do electors from major states like Bavaria and Prussia have the same voting power as the electors of Lippe and Lübeck? Benkarnell 20:34, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Not that I've seen. I was assuming each member state got one vote, decided upon by the individual. But that is anything but QSS. What does anyone else think? Zahir 21:09, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
