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!
