Picklepikki made my reply for me, and better than I could.
But I'll try anyway.

We are a multispecies nationstate thats less than a century old and few established traditions that we havent abandoned.
The batarians here include a lot of people who have abandoned the Batarian caste system including our Defense Minister. The majority of our asari have adopted Mira as something to emulate, to the dismay of their elders. Our salarians are abandoning hundreds of years of family control tradition. Our new volus immigrants are explicitly characterized as ideological.
A little over half of our population is salarian but most of the cabinet is asari, including the PM, Diplomacy and Stewardhip Ministers. Virmire's Councillor to the Alliance might be salarian, but she was born lystheni.There is a lot of potential for political and social friction as everyone Virmire tries to redefine themselves with regards to the Virmirean nation and the greater galactic diaspora, and as a lot of traditions fall to the wayside.
We have been lucky so far. Or well managed.
Almost everyone has come to the table in good faith, and not like Shereel's sister trying to coup us while we were fighting the Rachni, or the ardats trying to eat our face in the middle of a war.
This unprecedented, unlooked for hostility from a big player is a break from that, and should be quietly freaking everyone out.
Dont take the salarians for granted.
Dont take the good behavior or reason of our citizens for granted.
Thats how we get unpleasantly surprised.

I'm done fighting about the vote, but have you seen years 31-34? Mira may not have been looking for a fight last year, but she certainly has been provoking one for the rest of her 4th term. People and situations change. Just because they put up with it when everyone was isolated behind Rachni lines doesn't mean they were always going to.

I think I will ask folks to avoid cluster-tagging, on reflection. Just seems a bit confrontational.

Understood. Won't happen again. While your here, any chance we can get a vague comparison of the Commonwealths ship production vs the Terminus Alliances?

I want to make sure that we don't get something like the Lystheni blow up on us. That may be a bit overstating the risk, but we can't say for sure it's not. And that worries me.

I'm not sure I see how it's confrontational to draw attention to a counter argument, but I'm happy to play by your rules. Won't happen again.

1) No she didnt. She has done politics, and played it openly and well.
She has been doing that successfully for a salarian generation without any objections, and they have remained capable of working together without issue.
2)Even if I grant you the assumption that Mira has been picking fights? A delay of four years for a response suggests that this has no immediate relationship with any one thing she has done. The more so since salarians are the shortest lived galactic species atm, and unlike asari cant afford to be long winded and patient about responding to issues of concern.
If they were reacting to her, it would be immediate instead of waiting for roughly 13% of the current lifespan of a salarian to react.
3) Mira has conspicuously treated all the various traditional power players equally.
The asari, the batarians, the volus, the salarians, all the key supporters of the Racial Coalition Parties have suffered the same loss of influence where their goals have conflicted with Mira's and her supporters.
And yet its only the salarians reacting this way. Not the asari matriarchs, or the batarian statespersons, or the volus clan elders.
Just the dalatrasses.

I didn't say it was a single thing she has done, but rather pointing out that she has done a lot, and the option appeared in year 35, after she used legislative maneuvers to diminish and isolate the CSP, and opportunistically gave senatorial seats to only her Allied Virmire Assembly parties. That may have well been the last straw.
Well we haven't really taken an action to check on those populations have we. If we hadn't taken Checking in year 35, we'd be unaware of anything strange about the Dalatrasses for that matter.
With no objection during the terms prior to Recontact. This is a whole new generation of leaders, who with the whole galaxy available, and watching, may not feel quite as inclined to just let bygones be bygones. They have options now, and that impacts the equation.

She did a lot twenty years ago, and during the timeskip.
None of that has translated to this sort of reaction, not even when Mira was tossing previous government officials in jail for corruption and embezzlement.
We know there's nothing going on in the asari atm because our political fixer is a respected matriarch.
And our Defense Minister and buddy is batarian, with a significant level of penetrance into batarian society.
We do need to look in on the volus in particular after this, especially with the immigrant population changing the demographics.
But first things first: the dalatrasses
1)Mira and her political opponents have been politicking openly against each other since at least her second term.
Objections have been raised, loudly and openly.
The difference is that even disagreeing with each other has not prevented us from working with each other, and being courteous.
If something is changing that, we want to know what, and fix it, before it smacks us in the face.
2)It has been SIX YEARS since re-Contact.
If your hypothesis is correct, we would have seen political movement then. Even more pertinently, they would have brought it up, because there's an ongoing war, and a certain degree of coordination is necessary for survival.
It isnt the opposition to Mira's politics that is the issue, its the unprecedented lashing out to the political equivalent of "Hey, how are you guys doing?". That is out of character for the dalatrasses, and is a worrying sign in general.

They outstrip you by a significant margin; you are a second-rate power, they as a whole are a first-rate power.
