Either way, Jon Snow is on the Iron Throne at the end of the show, which pretty much sucks.
The thing that would really suck about Jon on the Iron Throne is that he's just not that clever. He is good and brave and all that but he just does so much dumb ****. If they were going to put him on the throne while highlighting that (e.g. as a critique of who people want to follow), that would actually be good... like Jon ascends to the throne and then fast forward to two years later, he can't figure out how to compound the interest on his loans or arrange food storage for winter, then he dies trying to swim to Pyke and fight Euron over some goonish remark he made in 1973, and the whole realm descends back into war and mindless savagery.
I think if GRRM has an outline in mind it will either be a cautionary tale / price of power type scenario, or they decide to start a whole new type of govt entirely.
