		Bavaria has long been a bastion of conservative politics in Germany, with the Christian Social Union having almost a monopoly on power since its inception in 1946.

		Bavaria has long been a bastion of conservative politics in Germany, with the Christian Social Union having almost a stranglehold on power since its inception in 1946.
		From the historical point of view older Bavaria was one of the most liberal states until the rather rural areas of Swabia and Franconia were added in 1814/15 at the Congress of Vienna.
		In between 1799 and 1817 the leading minister count Montgelas followed a strict policy of modernisation and lay the foundations of administrative structures that survived even the monarchy and are (in their core) valid until today.

	On Specific Issues Within Monarchism
		In contrast, Queen Elizabeth II is descended from almost all of the monarchs who reigned from 1714 to 1952 (as well as those prior to Charles I); therefore any suggestion that Duke Franz’s claim is "better" is meaningless.
		This is because the laws of the Russian Imperial family stipulate that only persons born of equal marriages (that is, a Romanov father and a mother of royal birth) are dynasts.
		The surviving members of the Romanov family in the twentieth century have generally not made equal marriages; therefore, the last male dynast was Maria’s father, Prince/Grand Duke Vladimir Kirillovich (1917-1992), son of Grand Duke Kirill Vladimirovich and Princess Victoria Melita of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha and Great Britain.

		Where once the German heralds granted arms on behalf of monarchs, their place has now been taken by a number of heraldic societies (for private individuals) and state government (for local authorities), although in both cases the cerification of arms is purely a registration process, without any formal authority to grant armorial bearings.
