Queen Amidala Neberie states, “I was not elected to watch my people suffer and die; this invasion in a committee.” “It is clear to me the Republic no longer functions.” She then takes her people and the Gungan people to war against the Trade Federation to resolve the dispute.
Later:
Senator Padme Amidala and Anakin are having an exchange.
A: We need a system where the politicians sit down and discuss the problem… agree what’s in the best interest of all people… and then do it.
P: That’s exactly what we do. The trouble is that people don’t always agree.
A: Well, then they should be made to.
P: By whom? Who’s going to make them?
A: I don’t know. Someone.
P: You?
A: Of course not me.
P: But someone.
A: Someone wise.
P: Sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship to me.
And continually presses her opposition to the creation of an army and war to resolve conflict.
HYPOCRITE!
