Politics is always a hot-button topic. Some people become more ornery than a Reek in mating season while others hold fast to the stance of not caring until they're in shackles or being beaten by a vicious overlord. While the team at Republic HoloNet News discourages those with political opinions to resort to violence or to dissent, sometimes the only thing which encourages the bureaucratic process along is a big event like the Treaty of Coruscant or a violent rebellion like the one taking place on Corellia. Last week, Voices asked you, our favorite sentient, to voice your opinions on the current administration of your government. It didn't matter if you're from the Empire, Republic, or an independent system. Voices wanted to know. Let's see what you had to say!

 In a monumental and normally unseen rate of change, the formerly rundown "heart" of the galaxy is suddenly becoming the respectable planet it was before the Great Galactic War. Plagued by corruption, crime, hunger, and the rampant fires that still burn from the Sacking of Coruscant, it almost seemed like an impossible task to turn the world that was sliding into a pit of Rancor filth back into the prosperous center of trade it once was. While planets like Ord Mantell and Alderaan still suffer from internal problems, the changes taking place on Coruscant will pave the way to a galaxy strong in democracy and purity of government. These changes will also put fear back into the Empire, their border skirmishes and strong-arming will not last long against the combined focus of the Galactic Republic. Several cases of corrupt Senators have come to light, many admitting to working with criminal elements for voting purposes or being exposed by good-willed citizens who love democracy! Never before have so many government officials resigned than those in the past and coming months due to the fear of being forced out of office or arrested due to their own twisted hunger for power.
Only so much as a year ago, Coruscant seemed unbearably close to its breaking point – the point where billions of refugees and other civilian lives would be cut down in an ever-growing tension that tore the lower levels apart at the seams. Criminal gangs controlled several districts, as well as violent paramilitary groups, Cthon, hunger, and more led to an inflow of complaints, and deaths, which the Senate couldn't ignore any longer.
