Reality can only hold us back, and the election sucks:

The Farangi Alliance was well situated as a neutral, market oriented state in the Star Trek Universe, Roms choice as leader to liberalize to the federation and away form free markets basically ensures the fall of the state in but a generation

Quark understood this.
The land of Oz is in a Warring States period. Yet, Princess Ozma refused to use her popularity to centralize power in the Emerald City. This will mean only a short time before new opportunists rise up to cause disruption to peace.
Tarkin holds a mixed legacy in the imperial remnant. It is widely believed the Tarkin Doctrine (rule through fear) lead to the fall of the empire.

The Grand Council of the imperial remanent was wise therefor to rule by merit and incentive, fear being left as the failed legacy.
The Alliance to Restore the Republic gained a reputation as a death Cult in the core worlds because its leadership body was composed of the five cultures that gave the highest death count to the war.
This was considered a deep flaw by later generations, becuse it gave so much power to Alderaan who had no real power to enforce the won peace after the war was finished.
More people need to understand that Sonic was a deeply dedicated monarchist and was very willing to violently defend the House of Acorn form those who questioned its authority, including against his closest friends.
Sonic was considered a contender for the Crown. His long history with Princess Sally put him as potential member of the royal family via marriage (approved of by court etiquette as he was a war hero) and a series of scandals had delegitimized all Male Hairs ahead of the Princess.
(Seriously guys the sonic comics have some of the deepest political lore of any work of fiction I’ve ever seen)
The Star Wars Senate included private cooperations. This happened because easy voting bock strategies made it legal for planets to sell their votes.

This was considered a source of stability, limiting the number of voices in the senate.
This also meant that Tax law was written by these cooperations as the controlled massive voting blocks.

When one of their tax laws was defeated, it was a massive political upset, something that had bot happened in nearly a century. It triggered the Galactic Civil War.
