All she needed to do was realise that Yuna was being a patronising arsehole. You don't even need political experience to figure that out.



But it's just an extremely short term distraction for the people at the expense of her entire happiness. That doesn't even remotely sound smart. The fact that Cagalli didn't love Yuna is hardly a minor issue. This is apparently a decision she's "agonised" over.
Two years really isn't all that much time, especially when you consider that Cagalli is a Greenhorn in a room full of experienced Political Animals. That and Cagalli is used to "doing" and forcing her way. The Political Process is full of red tape and roadblocks everywhere, even if Cagalli wanted something it would have to go through a ton of Political Bureaucracy first and that would take a long time before it reaches her desk or if it reaches it at all.

He was obvious to the "VIEWER" because of the smiles he gives when Cagalli isn't looking or the things he does or thinks that Cagalli just doesn't know about. Cagalli isn't a mind reader, she see's Yuna as a fiend but she was lead to believe that Yuna isn't speaking out against her because he wants to and that things will be better once he's in a position that he doesn't have to pander to the hardliners. Sure Cagalli suspected and knew that Yuna had another motivation that he was hiding and that she was being manipulated but she felt that it was fine if it benefited ORB in the end. That and she didn't know what else she could do since you just didn't have the power or experience to oppose the party Yuna was a part of without causing chaos in ORB.

It's only one, many more would follow. A Royal Wedding is a big thing for many countries and distracts the people for quite some time. They easily could have them appear "in love" in public to keep the people distracted. Even more so if Cagalli ends up pregnant and they later have a child.
