Anderson or Udina? I picked Anderson because well he helped me save the galaxy and will speak up if the council are acting like idoits rather than kiss their ass.

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

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

I usually pick Anderson, i picked Udina once, just to see what happens when i quit the spectres. I like his childish reaction.

I'd pick Udina on my current renegon playthrough because Anderson doesn't really like his new job in the paragon run. In the renegon run he is happier to let Udina take control because he's better. So now I think this is one of the paragon choices that will come back and bite you for my paragon shepard.

Actually it's politicians who are happy with their job that are the problem.

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

How about the option, "I don't care." It shouldn't be policy to give douchebag grunts the power to choose who to represent us in the galaxy's most important institution.

Anderson... I warned Udina that he would pay for what he did to me.

I am a Paragade and I picked Anderson.



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.

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

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.

I picked Anderson because he supported me against the Reapers, instead of pretending to believe me and then betraying me when it proved politically advantageous to him.

I picked Anderson, but knew that was just setting it up for some repercussions in ME2. After what Udina did, the only reason why a player would pick him is if they're aware of the political game. Anderson's not a politician surrounded by those that are. It never goes well.

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.

Angrey and Govenator I never really thought about it that way before this does add a new perspective.

Pretty much always Anderson. I think I chose Udina once for my Renegade game, but even then it was one of the things that made the game less enjoyable. I just hate talking to that guy.

politicians= the most failed leaders of our timespan.



Most effective ones= military leaders.



You do the math.

Anderson.

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.

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.



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.

Anderson regardless of Paragon or Renegade. Udina is just the biggest douche ever, and I hate him more then Saren or the Collectors or the Reapers. Even the Turian councilman is better then Udina.

No one likes the Renegade diplomat who says 'no' to them.

"Him? He prefers to let his fists do the talking!"




If that's not an arrogantly scoffing protest, I don't know what is.
