Well yea but the grass is always greener. They saw how bad it was south of the wall with everyone killing everybody about who kneels to whom, and so decided north of the wall was better.
Just becasue they don't want to live south of the wall doesn't mean they won't raid though, talking things from the soft southerners is always going to be an enticing prospect for an enterprising wildling after all!
Tormund just deciding they didn't want to stay was silly anyway, what happened to the clans getting together to decide things?

I think an expectation that the series was going to propose a solution to civil wars in general is a bit much, we haven't worked that one out in real life!
The story had to end the War of Five Kings with all sides bloody, exhausted and desperate for peace.
Five Kings was a serious underestimate. In the end wasn't there like six kings (7 if you count Mance) and three or four queens?
Iron Islands held Kingsmoot when succession was unclear, I think. Not after every king. Any way, Moot they held after Balon died was first in many centuries.

Mance(questionable)
Stannis
Robb
Jon
Balon
Euron
Renly
Joffrey
Tommen
Cercei
Dany
Does the coup in Dorne count, can't remember if they immediately jumped on board with Dany. Feels like Yara doesn't because she never really went independent after Euron defeated her. Sansa really only crowning herself after it was done so maybe not either.

To be fair they made it seem like those few dozen wildlings were what was left after the NK got done in.

People didn't want Stannis and Renly was the next in line after him. Renly is more malleable than Stannis.

Renly's position seemed to be that Stannis was cold and didn't care about people... which to be fair is true. But Renly also seemed delusionally self-absorbed. Of course, that anyone supported Renly at all tells you the only real rule of a medieval claim to the throne.
Do you have enough men at arms to back up your claim?

Being of the right bloodline is enough - hell even being married to the right member of a royal bloodline is enough - have a read through the Britsh Royal family and all the various branches of trees and whole new trees.
The Barathons are usurpers so always uncertain about passing it down for a few generations.
Also might makes right - if you have a vague claim as most of the major families in Westros will do you just fight, bribe, coerce and bluff your way to the throne. religion sometimes plays a part but thw writters gave up on that thrread after they blew up their equivalent of the vatican.

Thats why the ending is so damn bizzare...
An oligarchy didn't break the wheel it created a new one, probably worse than before, everyone will have their own agendas and the entire culture is screwed if there is a major war and the king dies.
I get wanting to 'select' a king. But do they really need a king? What about a constitutional monarchy? A parliament of lords? Or maybe a Senate similar to rome? We rushed so much, I am guessing that from what i know about the countries in this world that : Dorne and the Iron Island will secede because the north was allowed to.
This ending is so bizzare. Its hilarious how they didn't think through "wait if the north leaves what is the point of the others staying?"
Then we have the point of "Why did the night king die?"
If most of the world had not seen the white walkers how would they even know it existed? Very few consequences and other important background objects were explored at all!
Its so damn puzzling!
Even if i think "Oh bran will be a great king."
I still come back to the thought of:
"Umm what happens to the rest of the country then?"
we have little to no context or idea of what is going on in the country.

One needs to look to the rough take on English History that forms the backbone of GoT setting.
At the start, there’s an Absolute Monarchy, determined solely by Conquest or Bloodline.
Those are pretty crap as it turns out. Inbreeding is rampant to keep bloodlines pure. It can also mean political wrangling to secure advantageous marriages.
Bran being an Elected King is kind of their Magna Carta moment, after a fashion. Suddenly, the monarch relies on popular support from the Barony. They’ll be the ones to select the next ruler from among their number. Whilst far from perfect, that instantly makes the old political machinations somewhat defunct. Olenna (Gods rest her, she was one tough old bat) could no longer just throw her money and Grand Daughter at whomever she felt was the most eligible bachelor and have success.
Instead, the shape of the game changes. It becomes about wider cooperation. Seeking the Good Of The Realm, not the Knob Of The Right Bloke. If your preferred option is seen to be wise, ruthless and compassionate in the right mix for the prevailing conditions, you’ve got at least a shoe-in. Crucially, it means you risk alienating certain families (those with a vote) at your own peril.
It’s a very different political atmosphere. By all means it’s one a clever person can navigate to their own advantage. But the Master Players Of Old, and their playbooks just went right out the window.
That all helps build the period of stability so desperately needed, even before you factor in Bran knowing everything for the rest of his natural life.
Sure, sooner or later the flaws will be exposed. But not for a generation or two. In terms of medieval history, that’s a surprisingly long time. Seriously. Go back and look at the history of English Monarchy. Even post Magna Carta, it was Bloodline or Conquest.
Hell, that crapshoot continued into the 20th Century, when Queen Victoria’s ‘not a bad plan on the face of it’ to create a Grand Dynasty went horribly, horribly wrong. Directly leading to the wider mess we’re in today.
I’ll leave off here, because once again I risk getting too political. The bits I’ve mentioned, worth reading up on And yes, I’ve probably missed out significant bits.

Bran really doesn't know everything even if everything is pre-determined - in which case he can't do anything anyway because its goign to happen - so really is Bran the Pointless
If its not (which seesm to be the case) the very best he can know is the most likely events and then try and twist it to suit himself like an Eldar Farseer.
However any time he spends looking at one point / part of time/space is time not spent in the real world or looking at a different point/place/person at the same time - he is highly limited as its shown so far. Especially if he remains obessed with looking back in time.
IF (and its a big IF) the remaining kingdoms remain united under Bran (and there is no reason for them to do so). Also Bran does not rule over Sansa.
The other issue is that unlike Magna Carta (which itself was ignored by both sides and quickly repealed by the Church) there is no treaty here, no written legal or binding agreement for anyone to use later. The realm was carved up by those that remained in power (or had power) in the traditional way - in this case the victorious North took both the Ruling position over everyone else and itself became independant. Possibly the worst way to unite everyone.....
The game is just the same in any case even if they carry on with it, there is nothing about the good of the land etc, its who can influence/bribe/coerce/threaten whom.

Even knowing what is going to happen, without being able to influence it, is a solid super power.
And knowing that means one can influence the events after.
Example.
Bran can only see A future. Despite what we saw on screen.
If the future is fixed? You will still know that. You’ll know it, and can directly or indirectly have your revenge.
Yet what we saw on screen doesn’t support a Fixed Future outcome. Whilst I’ll happily agree it’s poorly executed, there are hints. In the first episode of S9, Bran is sat out in the cold in Winterfell. Someone (Sam, I think?) asks ‘dude. Cold! Bran’s answer is ‘it’s where I have to be’. Mainly to greet Jamie ‘reason for Bran’s crippy legs’ Lannister.
Everything we see of Bran as the Three Eyed Raven is suggestive of a partially mutable future. Hence my very early comment (pages back to fair) that he simply guided events to the Least Worst Outcome.
Because whilst Bran can see multiple futures, he appears to solely focus on those he can directly influence. Which is a pretty smart use of time travel gubbins, when you think about it. Forces one down a specific set of outcomes.

Not for me - the last two books were so bad I was pretty meh and given that this is also the ending for the books - that has destroyed any remaining interest.
Not that I believe they are or will even be written - he will continue to focus on other stuff and likely now the prequal series.
