		Actually I think he should be listed as Simeon Sakskoburggotski while he is active as a politician, then revert to Tsar Simeon II of Bulgaria after his death.
		It is not absurd - King Simeon and the Bulgarian Royal Family are direct decendants of Electoress Sophia - and this should be recognised.
		At the same time, there were Soviet troops in Bulgaria, and the Soviets (and their Communist allies) were very keen to get rid of the monarchy, and not known to be scrupulous about respecting democratic rights to self-determination.

		When King Simeon II returned to Bulgaria this spring after nearly 55 years in exile, he spent his first night at Vrana, a family estate in a densely wooded park on the outskirts of the capital, Sofia.
		Simeon is enormously popular among Bulgaria's burgeoning poor, analysts say, because of an image that one diplomat calls "aristocratic populism." For his opponents, he is a nightmare, untouchable because of his identification with the Bulgarian nation yet impossibly vague in his intentions.
		Sociologist Petar-Emil Mitev fears that Bulgaria is in for "one more disappointment." Mitev believes the Simeon phenomenon proves his country is still, regrettably, a "proto-democracy." Says he: "We have all the mechanisms of democracy, but not the culture." Ensconced in his family villa, waiting to be anointed again, Simeon would probably agree.

		Though King Simeon II had made it clear that he would not seek the return of the Monarchy, yet his successful bid at the elections give new hopes to other Monarchists, particularly the Iranians, who lived under Monarchy for more than 2.500 years.

	FORMER BOY KING POISED FOR BULGARIAN POLL VICTORY [Free Republic]
		SIMEON II chose Bulgaria's medieval capital of Veliko Turnovo, a picturesque hillside town redolent of a more glorious age, to launch his final week of campaigning yesterday as his party heads for victory in next Sunday's elections.
		Were he to accept public office, Simeon, who has never renounced his claim to the throne that was taken away by a rigged referendum in 1946, would have to swear allegiance to the republic.
		This is probably why King Simeon also has not given the United Democratic Forces (UDF) the unequivocal support one might have expected from a presumably democratically minded King, genuinely interested in the future of Bulgaria.
