I hate it when people discount DS9, because if you haven't seen DS9, or worse DON'T CARE about DS9, you're shooting yourself in the foot. I don't think you can have a canon discussion about the 24th century without having seen it: that's where all the real world building happens.
They're never home in Voyager, and TNG doesn't really care that much about the politics of home. (Which is unfair, there's a lot of episodes of TNG where we do see the Federation at work, but Picard is the Federation's roving problem solver, not their long-term guy the way Sisko is.)
There's a reason Picard's idol is Sarek, but Sisko loves Kirk. You know?
