I agree with you here, but I still would hesitate to characterise Lelouch's campaign as based on moral principles. He disagrees with his father's (and by extension Britannia's) philosophy, that much is obvious. But it's far from clear what - if any - principles Lelouch would prefer to replace them with. There's nothing wrong with him wanting to make a better country for his loved ones, but I don't believe that in itself qualifies his struggle as a moral one.

Lelouch may well have his own vision for a better world, above and beyond his desires for revenge and to help and protect Nunnally, but I don't think he's shown us enough of that yet to draw any real conclusions about the morality of his ambitions.
