Right before I took over the Byzantine Empire, the previous AI controlled ruler got cold feet and decided to willingly drop crown authority to limited under pressure of all the vassals...this was literally 8 months before he died and I took over proper. Having suffered through 15 years of regency (I took over as a 1 year old) and 15 years of vassals fighting each other... I need to stop it so I don't have half my realm's levies dead from the constant in-fighting.

My problem is that I'm only at 132/384 votes to approve Medium crown authority. Some of the guys on the 'opposed' list are really high relations...like 50+

How do I get this big unruly empire to approve Medium crown authority?

I'm not actually sure if it's the "opposed" list, or if it's just the list of everyone voting. Although if it is the opposed list, it could have something to do with a similar value to the one when inviting them to a plot where it lists "Political Reasons"

It turns out getting a Jihad called on me did the trick, not that I could control that. About halfway through the war, they approved it. I also wiped the floor with the Muslims...mainly because the Mongols decided to declare on them so they had to fight both me and the mongols.
