As a Paragon. You don't want to know what I'd do to him as a Renegade.

A politician who would rather be elsewhere but stays because he's dedicated to what he's doing is far better.

Besides the fact that Udina stabbed me in the back and I swore he wouldn't get away with it, there is also the fact that I focused on Sovereign and allowed the Council to die. The last human I would allow to run the council would be a power hungry idiot like Udina.

Anderson, because after what he did I would've spaced Udina if I could.

As a Renegade I would fly him to Omega and force him to take shots with that Bartender that tried to poison me.

Actually, most of the time I tell them I don't care who they pick because politics isn't my job. Shame then that ME2 forces you to pick. Would have been interesting if neither of them became Councilor.

Anderson. Udina was too obviously ambitious. Anderson did not want the job, and that is why I wanted him to have it. A politician who wants to be a politician is more likely to be corrupt than one who becomes one reluctantly.
Angrey and Govenator I never really thought about it that way before this does add a new perspective.

Most effective ones= military leaders.
You do the math.

When asked to pick between a decent man and a hysterical jerk, the choice is clear. Besides, those who want power are more often than not those who can't be trusted to use it well.
(sigh) And I am pretty sure that certain poster will be all over this thread with his political vievs soon...

This. Agreed completely.

The idea that the best politicians are the unwilling ones is a carryover of the Mister Smith goes to Washington fantasy, usually accompanies by such popular myths as 'the common man is far more trustworthy with power than a politician' and 'the military is entirely full of effective, morally straight, hard working selfless heroes'.
Military leaders are far from uniformly ideal when it comes to politics, rising in a command structure based on heirarchal authority and not the compromising and not-automatically obedient heirarchies of the civilian world. A military officer given a bad order is trained to grimmace and do it anyway, whereas civilians are more inclined to talk back and try and fix it. The military leaders we remember best as effective leaders (General Petraeus, Ike, Washington) were the ones who were effective politicians in the military as well.

In ME1, Udina's ambitions were always on and for the Human race, which is exactly what he was supposed to be. I'm trying to think of a single case where he did something out of personal selfishness and not for Alliance political interests, and I'm coming up short. If you nominated Anderson, he didn't even protest.
"Him? He prefers to let his fists do the talking!"
If that's not an arrogantly scoffing protest, I don't know what is.
