We can only *assume* since there has been a few minor scenes where the council are meeting around a table that these decisions as a body happens. Problem i find that with Yuna making the calls without council foreshadowing it can easily be interpreted that his is making the SOLE decisions. So ill just scratch it as bad writing.

Just to clarify.. Being the representative isnt a position of absolute final decision making. His just the voice of the council. Now i could go for a far stretch as leader of the military without knowing the extent of his authority he may be able to make such decisions without the consultation of the rest of the council. But cannot confirm this due to no knowledge of what powers he has under his position of leadership in the military criteria.

I think the word stable could be replaced with structure. Without understanding orbs structure in thorough detail it is difficult to point out where restrictions of the council on individual basis has its limits of autonomy. Hence there is alot of confusion in regards to ORBS leadership that we have to point the dots together and make educated guesses that fits the scenario with the final product. But clearly ORB is stable in the sense that there is no political aggression between the council members which further is shown that the populace are content with the current leadership direction.

I personally think she was out-voted. Remember alot of izumi ideals supporters died with him in SEED so who knows what obstacles was left behind for cagalli to deal with.

Just another example of cagalli either being outvoted or fell under pressure.

Just a question are you having problem with stability or ORB leadership breaking izumi ideals of neutrality?

Cagalli kidnapping wouldn't make a dent. But at the same time she should of returned to her post as an government official and fight in the political arena against the alliance treaty.

ORB was fine for the most part of DESTINY. Orb had problems when EA was getting it ass kicked in all out defeat while zaft was closing in the envelope. But to be fair that situation would of happen to any nation or affiliation who is losing a war. People can easily make stupid decisions when under extreme pressure. But for the sake of plot and story they had to throw in these *obstacles* to paveway for cagallis eventual return as the rightful leader of orb
