Franz- Ferdinand wasn't really for the 5 kingdoms idea. He thought they'd sooner or later had to make Slavic Crown within the empire, because there were so many of them (he didn't like Slavs at all, but neither did he like Hungarians, and he hoped they'd be busy fighting each other).

But 3 Parliaments, not to talk about a scenraio with 5 Parliaments.... would be hard to sell both in Vienna and Budapest. And in Court there were plenty of Reactionaries that wanted 0 Parliaments.
 
We know that he wanted something more than triple monarchy and something less than socialists (they were preferred nationality based division, something like Popovici plan) so that five states vision looks realistic (especially similar plan were proposed in 1843).

But 3 Parliaments, not to talk about a scenraio with 5 Parliaments.... would be hard to sell both in Vienna and Budapest. And in Court there were plenty of Reactionaries that wanted 0 Parliaments.

The same who established the universal suffrage in 1896 and equal one in 1907? We are talking about beginning of 20th century. FF was conservative but pragmatic too.
