With the North going independent Bran has no power base outside the capital.

All absolutely true, but the North went independent AFTER Bran had received the approval votes of most or all of the Southern houses.
But let's face it, unless Bran can Warg into Drogon, he's going to have his hands full with wannabe usurpers, starting with his own Master of Coin.
All that said, all those usupers need to batten down their own power base. It's not like Bronn walks in and everyone in the region that had pledged fealty to House Tyrell for all those years quickly bends the knee. Will take years to sort it all out. Years that Bran might be able to use to his advantage if he's politically adept (WHICH WE HAVE NO PROOF WHATSOEVER OF).
