This is, fundamentally, my main problem with King Bran. He has no house and no armies loyal TO HIM. The Starks and Northmen are IN THE DAMN NORTH. And he's shown no ability to inspire either loyalty or fear, which are the two things (one or the other or both) that a leader in that setting must have.
But yeah, on balance...ok. The entire kingdom is very much off-balance, and nobody else has much in the way of armies loyal to them either.
But seriously -- does anyone think Bronn ISN'T making a play for the throne within five years?
Overall, I'm okay with it. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either.

Like you said, nobody has much of an Army left. Bran still would have support from the North, but his big weapon is the ability to know the future/if someone is scheming against him.
Also, Bronn wants nothing to do with being King. He wants enough money to do whatever he wants with little to no daily responsibilities.
