Late response. What you describe sounds very much like real-world politics. :D

In the end, not getting involved (which goes contrary to the protagonist's overall actions throughout the game) in the Dust District may be the best solution for the people of Karnaca. If both Paolo and Byrne can keep it to opinions instead of brutal acts, it may be for the best. The newspapers do highlight that parts of the population favor one side or another.

Also something I realized about the old council, they lived a cautious life partaking with the Duke's orgies for 5 years while not caring for the state of the lesser districts or the "Bloodfly Concern". While should they stay if Stilton alone (if saved) was enough to keep Batista stable for 3 years? They also did nothing to keep Addermire open or reassure the public about Hypatia. It wouldn't be fair to keep them governing the city instead of more capable people who are not afraid to oppose the Duke.
