As part of that big Vanity Fair interview I mentioned a few days ago, members of the cast of Game of Thrones were asked who should, ultimately, sit on the Iron Throne.
Some members of the cast chose the people you would expect them to but there were also some surprises. It appears that, if Westeros were a democracy, it would be a dead heat between Tyrion Lannister and Hodor. (Without getting into specifics that actually reminds me of some recent elections in the real world).
