Although many have complained about the last season of HBO's Game of Thrones, I was satisfied. I appreciated the resolution of the Game, which was to change its rules. Instead of a hereditary monarchy, the monarch will be chosen by the Lords and Ladies of Westeros, thus braking the wheel as Daenerys had wanted. They all laughed at the idea of a democracy, joking that they might as well let the dogs and horses vote. See >>5108050.

The first ruler they chose was the wisest among them, Brand the Broken, first of that name. The beginning of a meritocracy.
