((I have to agree with Rudders on this one. Severino did declare a coup. An actual coup - mabye one that failed miserably, and never was a real threat, but a coup was declared, and by formality to follow the consitution, you have to support the current government, which was democraticly elected. Rudders - president andonie - is a part of that government, which severino wanted to remove. Thus by law you have to support the president, which means supporting the government, which is democraticly elected. That is -fact- as I see it, but ofcourse if your char had a different agenda, then he could use rhetorics to argue against it. But an abstain means ''i dont care" which in turns means I dont care if andonie stays or if he falls, and by that you do not defend the republic which the consitution demands. There isint really any discussion to this.
And as to Andonie's popularity. I (Romano) did admit that he has probably done some backroom political faulplay, but it wasent illigal. He might have screwed the nacionales over, but it wasent against the law. So even though Romano critizied this act, he did support the government because the consitution demands him too.))
