Jaime was spared when he killed the King and that turned out awful for the realm. I'd say they wisely did not want a repeat of that. I'd also guess that after murdering the second woman he was ever in love with and watching Kings Landing be decimated he probably did not want to stick around. Him returning to the place he called Home for the past 5 years actually makes a lot of sense. I agree about Tyrion, but who is to say that is not going to end in disaster. A cripple king, a hated dwarf as Hand, a female Commander of the Kingsguard and two up jumped peasants on the Small Council is a recipe for disaster. I give it two summers before the first rebellion. It would have made more sense if that Council picked her to be Queen given Robin, Royce and, presumably the other Vale Lord, would have voted for her, Edmure, already intimidated by her Cat impression, would have done so as would have Tyrion and the other Starks if they got a vote. Bran makes little sense given there is no real evidence to most of Westeros of why he is so special or that there realm was in any real threat given all the Others simply exploded. Sansa being Queen would have meant the North remaining.

Some nameless Lord. Impossible to know which region from, he may be another Riverlander given that there was three representatives from the North, possibly three from the Vale, three, maybe four from the Stormlands, or possibly someone from the Reach. He was in-between Edmure and Sam so I'm guessing he was either from the Reach or Riverlands but given he said nothing when they were trying to give the Unsullied the Reach the Riverlands seem the logical guess. I think people are less upset about him being a Lord or a Small Council member but him being given the entire Reach. I don't have an issue with it given that Littlefinger was born only slightly better off and was appointed Lord of the Riverlands as reward for serving the Lannisters. It also makes sense politically given the Reach was against the coalition of winners that inherited the Throne. Keeping a puppet Lord who owes his power to the Throne is a bonus, Bronn remaining in power and not being overthrown in the future is not a guarantee.
