ORB allying is not only to prevent another Invasion but because the party Yuna is a part of is making backdoor deals with the Feds to benefit greatly from it. Cagalli is forced to agree as she's powerless to stop her entire cabinet desiring to join with the Feds(that and public outcry is against ZAFT at this point due to the colony drop attempt) even if all their reasons aren't the same. Had Kira or Athrun been there to support her during this she may have had the strength to deny them and argue against it but they weren't. Instead Cagalli was alone and is too prideful to go to at least Kira for comfort and support to build up her confidence.

Quite frankly she just isn't ready to rule yet. Her youth, nativity of the world of Politics, and inexperience is too easily exploitable which the more experienced ORB politicians have no trouble doing. That and she's wrestling with the fact that she loves Athrun but must eventually marry Yuna for the good of ORB.

Another thing to consider is that Cagalli rebelled against that life in SEED and has little to no Political training as she was more of an Action Girl. Yuna on the other hand was bred for the Political sphere and manipulating others to get what he wants.
