The main points of the SGA statute

• Nondenominational – Pro-European – Monarchist.
• Our foundation is the European tradition, embracing Christian values and the Enlightenment.
• We acknowledge without reservation the democratic commonwealth and its fundamental standards as they are set forth in the Constitution of 1867.

Economy

• Protection of the economy. Promotion of high-quality jobs.
• Preferential treatment of import-duty for goods which comply with the domestic standards for the environment and social welfare, as opposed to goods whose production is harmful to man and the environment.
• Enhancement of self-capitalization quota of firms.
• No sell-out of the country: Maximisation of Austrian ownership.

European policy

• The SGA advocate a union of the central European countries under a common crown entailing common foreign-, economic- and defencepolicy. Whether this will be realized within or without the NATO, is to be put to a referendum in the countries of the crown at that time.
• No EU-membership of Turkey. Strengthening of relations with European states and, if occasion arises, their accession.
• Strengthening of the friendly ties with other successor states of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
• The text passages in the provincial anthems which refer to the old monarchy must under no circumstances be altered. This applies particularily to the Styrian anthem:
             From the Dachstein’s hights where the eagle soars
             to the Wendish land on bank of  Sav’,
             from the alpine glen, the thund’ring Mürz’s course
             to the vine’s domain, the vale of Drav’:
             This so beauteous land is the Styrian’s land,
             is mine own, my dear beloved home.
  Of course, no territorial claims derive therefrom.
• The SGA support conceding South Tyrol sovereign powers (for instance to install its own police force). This sovereign right is to be represented by Austria and Italy conjointly. The inhabitants of South Tyrol are to express their nationality in a referendum. Representation would then be allotted proportionally according to the result of this referendum. The present solution is, in the opinion of the SGA, advantageous neither for the two states nor, most certainly, for South Tyrol itself.
• The continued existence of Italo-Fascist monuments in South Tyrol is to be decided in a regional plebiscite.
• The SGA reject the limitation of the political and cultural horizon to the present extent of Austria.

Education

• Promotion of central European languages in the schooling of all former crown-lands.
• Instruction in "manners" at school.
• Enhancement of intermediate school and apprenticeship.
• Guarantee of the free access to university.
• Full-time school within the framework of compulsory schooling: Alimentation and afternoon care for pupils doing their homework, for tutoring and learning for examinations, etc. With the exception of a fee covering the board, this opportunity is made available free of charge, attendance is optional.
• Sporting activities, "boy-scouting" and gardening in the course of afternoon school (in the case of full-time school) should enable the young to "let off steam" and at the same time to promote social cohesion and a sense of fellowship, and to oppose the increasing immobility and incomprehension of nature which is so prevalent nowadays. Also the incorporation of foreign children and youth into our society is thereby facilitated, so these (especially those from the former crown-lands) can be more easily integrated. The social intercourse of Austrians and foreigners is thus learnt early and will not able to be made into a problem.
• Inclusion of the subject "citizenship" into regular lessons and also into possible the afternoon care. In the course of this patriotism, the critical observation of the government and society, as well as acceptance of other cultures should be conveyed to the rising generation. In any case, the children and youth shall be made acquainted with the community of culture, tradition and history of Austria with all peoples of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire.
• The SGA demands objective and comprehensive history lessons at school. A republican, party-politically biased syllabus such as is currently practiced, is to be emphatically rejected.
• The augmentation, specialization and above all the permanent rejuvenation of teaching staff is necessary. So that the rising generation may profit fully from Austrian education, a body of teachers is needed who are suitable not only because of their command of their subject but also and especially because of their pedagogic abilities and their authority. Through appropriate incentive, particularly in the area of primary schooling, a greater balance in the relation of male to female teachers is to be attained.
• The attendance to a state kindergarten must be free of charge (except for the cost of board). The number of "nannies" must be increased until there is one carer per ten children to be tended. During the last year of kindergarten a comprehensive preparation for primary school should be offered, where the children are introduced to the basics of reading and writing as well as to simple arithmetic.
  

The Monarch and the nobility

• Should the monarch be of the opinion, that the government has reached a decision which is not in accordance with the will of the majority of the people, he can decree a binding referendum on the points in question.
• A board reflecting the structure of the population (a monitoring council) is to be created which can, in the case of gross fault or incompetence, force the monarch to abdicate. Thereupon the succession automatically comes into effect. This board is to consist of members of both houses of parliament and of members of the crown council.
• Repeal of the "Habsburg laws" and all regulations resulting from them, as these are inappropriate in today's Europe which includes eleven monarchies.
• Repeal of the law abolishing the peerage, for not only are the titles of the nobility part of our historic heirloom but the privileges were abolished in their entirety by the Emperor Francis Joseph.

Domestic policy

• Enhancement of the police force: The damaged reputation of the police, as well as the fact that many see the force more as an adversary, must be reverted to a positive esteem. The size of the police force must be made to conform to the requirements of crime fighting. A spirit must be evoked among the people, so that the appearance of man in uniform does not cause aversion and provocation but respect. Accordingly the training of the force must be improved but also and particularly the attitude of the population must be changed.
• No farming-out of executive functions to private firms.
• Perusal of the penal code with the aim of changing and augmenting laws and punishments.
• Lowering of the number of members of parliament. The money thereby saved shall be earmarked to be used for education, social welfare, research, etc.
• More practical knowledge in politics: The ministerial posts must be filled with corresponding experts – a minister of agriculture must himself own a farm, the minister of defence must be a high-ranking officer, and so forth.
• Politician's salaries are to be lowered dramatically. Politician's pensions and the continuation of wages after loosing office are to be abolished entirely, whereby the acquired insurance claim remains intact up to the limit set by the Austrian General Welfare Insurance Law.
• Complete cancellation of the support of political parties and the press with tax-payers money.
• Annual declaration of the all party financial matters in the appropriate official gazette.

Environment

• As the environmental laws of the individual provinces show striking differences which hinder an effective nationwide protection of the environment, a national environmental law must be instituted. To this are to be added supplements which consider the special circumstances in specific regions.
  

Energy

• The SGA calls for environmentally friendly energy policy, the aim of which is the independence from electricity imports. So villages will have to provide for themselves (with solar or other environmentally friendly plants), whereas towns must be provided for by large power stations. The larger power stations can so be relieved and the noxious cross-country grid counteracted. The 380 kV national grid, which is still incomplete in the Burgenland and in Styria, must be completed to guarantee supply in case of emergency (breakdown of a plant).

Defense

• The SGA advocates a dual defence system: An efficient de-centrally structured army at home retaining conscription plus a professional military force numbering about 5000 soldiers for international deployment under a UN mandate.
• Extraction of clauses in the General Service Regulations deriving from the Third Reich.
• The SGA recommends not entering into any mutual defence agreements at the moment.
• The legislator is to give the armed forces a new clear aim and assignment suited to today's requirements. Civil Service posts in the armed forces are to be abolished. The SGA does not consider accepting women into the army to be prudent.
• The organization of training in the armed forces should be improved in conformity with the pattern of the Swiss army (differentiation of the duration of conscription according to function/purpose).
• A common defence council is to be installed for central Europe.

Minority policy

• The topographical designations (place-names) in central Europe are to be written up in all the languages of the resident peoples in the twentieth century, even if these were dispersed.
• It is the aim of the SGA to integrate completely into Austrian society those minorities who immigrated in the last decades, meaning those who do not belong to the historic peoples of central Europe. Considering the limited capacity of Austria, future immigration is to be restricted, so that this may succeed.

Family

• The SGA advocates a child-friendly society, including the resulting responsibilities.
