This is the thing I don't get: why is this nearly always the end outcome, since we can all acknowledge it's not very interesting? Why does it always have to collapse back to the status quo?
It gets to the point where they have to make up a "coalition of scrappy good guys" (AEUG, Londo Bell, League Militaire and its various imitators in the AUs) to spice things up a bit, but, as you well say, it doesn't solve anything.

>Zeon gets all of the interesting dynamics going on and you want to see what they're going to do next and why.
While Zeon has its aristocratic political game, the Federation is a beige blob with very little depth to it outside of mentions of "Earth elites" and "keeping spacenoids down", since the only element of it that we ever see is the armed forces.
I think the worst part is that, outside of side material, nobody has developed the political side of the Federation outside of very broad strokes in Zeta and Unicorn (and the latter only served to introduce that Marcenas/Links/Carbine conspiracy crap). Just for once, someone has to do the actual work of making the Federation an interesting faction. For instance, if there are cliques in its assembly, or how much power do the individual nation-states still have.

When people said that Gquux is zeonwank, they're aren't kidding. There's no mention or appearance/cameo of Amuro and other White Base…
