Preferring to rule via dictat rather than by consultation and negotiation, Sturgkh's relationship with parliament was never a happy one in spite of his initial success in securing passage of a fresh military programme in 1912-13.
It was converted into a makeshift hospital during the war (an action he viewed with satisfaction in light of his contempt for the Reichsrat).

 Karl Graf von Stürgkh
Ever since March 1914, Austria’s government was a dictatorship based on Article 14 of the Constitution of 1867, which forced the closure of the Reichsrat.
Immediately, there were widespread calls for the convocation of the Reichsrat according to constitutional law, but Stürgkh resolutely defied them, demanding that the focus of the government was exclusively toward the prosecution of the war.
In late July 1914, Stürgkh agreed to establish the army’s Kriegsüberwachtungsamt (KÜA), an office to monitor subversion in those areas of the country not considered “war zones.” Thus, Austria was transformed from a civilian dictatorship into a military dictatorship.

What was left of Austria had two rudimentary constitutions, the FEBRUARY PATENT (of 1861, foreseeing a central REICHSRAT) and the OCTOBER DIPLOMA (of 1860, foreseeing regional diets in a federal constitution).
The Emperor was, for Austria, unwilling to accept the principle of a constitutional monarchy (in case of Hungary he regretted to have given them that much authority); attempts for political form were at times considered, as a tool to reach a short-term political goal, not as an issue on its own merit.
Parliamentary activity, limited in authority as it was, therefore was distorted - by the franchise which favoured the nobility and the wealthier classes, by the attitudes different ethno-political groups took toward parliamentary policy, by the confusing competition of two constitutional systems.

In Austria parliamentarism prevails, and under present conditions no development in Austria is possible without parliament.
We spoke above of the waverings of one section of the Caucasian Social-Democrats who were unable to withstand the nationalist "epidemic."
