Virtually all the politicians of the defeated, radicalised nation the Weimar republic was actually were politicians, civil servants and public functionaries of the late Reich as well - at least in its first about 8-10 years.
Oh, and ... there were quite some topics, that were on the agenda in the late Empire as well as in the Weimar Republic :
school politics
inheritance tax
income/direct taxes
social insurances (the Kaiser actually wanted to extend them ...)
As some sidenote :
the conservative economy (esp. the agrarians) formed a political cartell in 1913 to oppose the goverments financial politics (hindering Willy to expand on his toys : navy and army). ... what didn't really suit with Willy and his perception of 'conservative' politicians
Another sidenote on the growing 'functioning' of the Reichstag :
a 'coalition'(cooperation) of SPD, Center and Liberals forced the goverment to accept an unwanted way of financing the already passed Army-Law of 1913.
Interesting. Do you have any good sources for the politics of the pre-War Empire?
