you are a citizen of westoros, who is your king?

I'd go with the North.

Yes the weather sucks, and it's a harder life. But you're less likely to be screwed by taxes, and the Starks (assuming the Starks are in charge) are honorable and won't screw you over/take your land/give it to someone else like the Lannisters. Plus I hate playing politics, and the north doesn't really care about that.

2nd would be Danni

3rd Stannis, because he's a worse version of the North.

4/5 would be tied Greyjoys/Lannisters. No thank you. The iron price is Westeros' version of capitalism, except if you lose you are probably dead. The Lannisters will make you a lord one day, and the next day you'll be homeless, not for me.

daenerys. she's a strong leader and genuinely cares about the well-being of her people

plus, dragons

...I really should watch TV more.

Stannis "the Mannis" Baratheon

Daenerys Targaryen

The others haven't faired too well.

Stannis is the one true king.

The King in the North!

[spoiler] When he was alive and everything of course. [/spoiler]

Stannis "the Mannis" Baratheon

King of the North!  King Jon Snow!

Dany is will go all wacky.  I just know it.  

Don't read below if you haven't read the 5th book.

[spoiler]

But i'm interested in this possible Aegon guy who has been in "training" for his entire life.

I don't accept Renly as king, therefore he is not king.  

There is no legitimate government unless 100% of the population agrees with the choice of leaders, otherwise it is being forced upon the citizenry who do not accept the government and that is immoral and should not exist.  If I do not accept someone as king then their power over me is only possible by force.  Someone who uses force to impose their position of power is not legitimate.

[QUOTE="Shottayouth13-"]

[QUOTE="Laihendi"] Stannis murdered his brother Renly, who was the legitimate King. Renly had the support of almost all of the major houses of Westeros. Stannis does not have a right to rule people who do not consent to his rule. The legitimacy of government is derived from the consent of the governed. Stannis is a violent killer who rules through fear and force rather than justice and peace.Laihendi

He had unanimous concent?  Guess thats why he needed an army of 100,000 to become king.  

Joffrey opposed him, Stannis opposed him, Lannisters opposed him, Starks opposed him, and Dany opposed him.  They would all become his subjects if he forced himself to become king.  That sure has heck isn't unanimous concent.

Since we are on this topic who do you guys think Jon Snow's parents really are?I can't be the only one who thinks he is Lyanna Stark's son.T-Bone91

[spoiler] The story the frog kid (cant remember his name) told Bran? I was thinking it was Ned/Brandon who was the hero (considering he was so surprised Bran hadn't heard the tale), but if the Lyanna & Raegar hypothesis is correct, then that's good support. I need to re-read the books since finishing, I probably missed a bunch of early stuff because I didn't know what was going on. [/spoiler]

Ice and Fire browolverine4262

Jon and Ygritte, Jon and Melisandre, Jon and [spoiler] Aegon :P [/spoiler] are all as likely, well maybe not the Ygritte one.

[spoiler] of course throwing Jon in depends on how you want to interpret Jon's ending in the 5th book as well [/spoiler]

The poll options are absurd because they do not include Renly, who is (was) a much better king than any of those listed. Why would you include an obscure person like Balon Greyjoy and leave out Renly Baratheon? I also admire Cersei Lannister as a person, but I am not sure that I would want to live under her rule.Laihendi

Hard to be King when you're dead..

The Iron Islands play a much larger role than Renly does.

Read all the books, then tell me you want Cersei to continue to be Regent please.

To me the main point of the frog story was that Lyanna was fawning over Rheagar. And Jojen was so surprised that Bran didnt know the story because its essentially where the war began and how Jon came to be. To Jojen this is probably common knowledge because either his greensight or his dad told him the truth. So, he expected the same from Ned.

I really need to re-read that then, because that must have gone way over my head. I just remember thinking I was clever for realizing those 4 were the Starks, because I don't think they ever mentioned them by name.

Before you mentioned Jon and Danni as Ice and Fire, I really hadn't thought of it like that. Those were off the top of my head, and I'd agree Danni and Jon might be the most likely. [spoiler] Remember there are the 3 heads of the dragon for Danni, Aegon(?) and Jon(?), keep the incest going? [/spoiler]

 More than half the characters on that list are dead from my point of view.

wolverine4262

Well I was going with where I think the show might be at right now (don't have access to the show to know) [spoiler] I made that assumption considering it has Joffery and Balon on the list [/spoiler]
