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!

Thought this was the title of another spin off "comedy" show. ;)

Where were you in '77?
