Honestly I feel like there's no point even bothering to try fleshing out Udina's whole thing. His plan was stupid and I don't see any real need to legitimise it now. I'd rather just keep that nonsense out of Andromeda's plot, even peripherally.
Also, this whole thing would both paint Cerberus as the good guys and the Council as villains, which I for one don't much like. I mean, the Council weren't nearly as bad as we were for some reason meant to think they were and personally I don't want any more of the 'damn politicians' thing piled on unnecessarily.
His plan was desperate, not stupid - insofar as a plan can be judged by how not stupid it is by if it actually succeeds...and he damn near succeeded.
In the larger context of the war, yes, it was not only stupid but selfish, I agree. But as a flawed character who desperately wants to help Earth and is willing to screw over everyone else and form a pact with the devil, I have no problem with Udina, the coup, or Cerberus involvement in it.
