Since I've never really seen any discussionon this tiopic before, which is interesting, I decided to make this thread to get some discussion going on. Who do you think is the logical person to choose for the council? Udina or Anderson?

I personally choose Anderson because Udina makes a habit of restricting my actions like the original council did, I reallly hate the guy.

Another chance to post this!

Anderson acknowledges the Reapers.

^ So hilarious!

It's a question of context.

Short term? Anderson.

Long term? Udina.

I don't buy that at all.  For me (and I do play Paragon mostly), Anderson is the better choice for both.

I think that Anderson has the better understanding of what it will take to defeat a military threat (like I don't know, the Reapers) (short term).
 
And Udina never came across as a "people" person.  Anderson seems to have a much better time playing nice with others.  Which I think is needed if the human seat on the council is going to be stable (long term).

Depends on what you think is the best outcome for Humanity. Honestly, I don't think either Anderson or Udina are the best choice for the Council. They are both good choices, and both will do a good job for Humanity. However, as a Council member whose main interest is peace throughout the galaxy, and just happens to be Human? We haven't met that character yet.

Udina, he's an arse but a capable politician. Andersson is a nice guy but worthless to have an an ambassador.

For the short term I'd go with Anderson. He acknowledges the reaper threat openly and knows the deal. Having him in power is good because he will make sure Shepard can do what needs to be done and won't ignore the danger lurking in dark space just to butter up to the Council who deny it.

Longer term, it'd be Udina since he's the most experienced politician, and when the reapers are dealt with he'd be a better one to fight for humanity on that stage.

Anyway, Anderson having Udina as his understudy seems a more potent combination than vice versa. In the former, they both serve a purpose and seem to be doing it effectively. The other way, not so much.

Basically my choice is always: Anderson for now, but I expect him to stand down after the war to make way for Udina.

[D.Sharrah]

It would not surpirse me at all if Udina is the councilor, if humanity lost its seat on the council. I can see it now,



...A startling announcement from the Council on the Citadel today, Humanity is stepping down from the council. All of the back room political chatter has this painted as Humanity being forced out by the other council members. In fact, someone close to the council, who wishes to remain anonymous, stated, "I think that the council acted rashly when they awarded the council seat to the humans after the Battle of the Citadel. The actions of one person does not define a species, as the council has sorely found out."...

[tommyt_1994]

But when you make the choice, it is Shepard's understanding that everyone believes the reaper threat. Maybe Udina is the smarter choice, he is the politician after all.

[D.Sharrah]

Udina is a bull in a china shop...even in politics. He comes across as guy who is just going to force everything he can out of situation - and cross anyone to get it done. Long term, short term - I just can't see that succeeding.

Quite honestly, Anderson doesn't look like he has the desire to be a long term politician.

Udina is an awful politician during the first half of the game, but during the scene where he grounds the Normandy he behaves exactly like a politician. So either he has split personality, or he is cunning once his power is assured. Which it is, now that humanity has a seat.

[Snowship]

Udina, politics shouldn't be a popularity contest, it's about getting the job done.

[Markinator_123]

Udina (even though I never pick him)

[Nightwriter]

I think anyone who says one is miles better than the other is wrong.  (Not to be confrontational or anything.)

Udina is just more politically inclined, period. He's got his head in the game. Giving him a political position is like giving a tunnel-digging job to a groundhog. You can pretty much be sure he'll protect humanity's interests as well as make sure we're on fake-smiles terms with other races (purely out of self-interest).

Anderson is a pretty damn good politician in his own right, actually. He's not an idiot, he is politically savvy, he knows what's actually important and he's willing to either be nice or confrontational as the situation demands. What's more, he's trustworthy, which is an unheard of trait in a politician.

Having read Retribution, Udina.

[Xilizhra]

Anderson. Udina's... no. Just no.

Wat?

[Xilizhra]

Come on; our sacrifice to save the Council has won us the respect of the other races already. Playing nice can allow us to parley this into many further gains.

[Nightwriter]

Shand picked Udina?

[EffectedByTheMasses]

Anderson for an all-human council and Udina with the old council.
