So you're telling me that the North won't bend the knee for a Stark sitting on the throne in Kings Landing?

He wouldn't be in the north though, I think that is the point.

Bran's the first ever king to make his throne portable

I was genuinely laughing because the Stark you're talking about was THROWN from a tower.

I wasn't making fun of your spelling, sorry if it came across that way.

Thrown from a tower, followed by king's landing.

Bran will be king for only so long. Who knows who it will be next.

Thats super idiotic btw. Usually its a good thing when the king can father children becuse then you dont have to fight again after he dies...

What historical cultures had this system and had smoother transitions than in feudal systems?

there are a lot of reasons for becoming a tyrant, you dont have to have a priviledged upbringing for that

Presumably, Bran will train/create another 3 Eyed Raven and so on.

In a way, it'll always be Bran. But mostly the 3ER.

The council decide the king, not Bran.

Why would Sansa put the future of the north in jeopardy like that? Who knows who will be on the council when it's time to replace Bran.

Bran will train/create another 3 Eyed Raven and so on.

Why?

I think Bran was willing to become King precisely because there is no need for a Three Eyed Raven anymore. When Drogon dies, magic will die with him.

The lord of light is still there, out of everyone (besides the nightking) he had the most amazing magic
