Both Tyrion & Jaime are essentially moral men - who are not interested in causing suffering. Either one of them would make a fine ruler.

Hmm. Dunno. "Essentially" is a rather broad term. Especially considering that Jaime impregnated his sister at least twice...tossed an innocent child out of a 4-5 story window and Tyrion killed his father whilst Dad was taking a dump. And this after staying drunk for almost 3/4 of every day and screwing any whore who would have him.

I think the best you could say is they have a modicum of scruples when it comes to human suffering. But moral? Nah.

“But moral? Nah.”

Chuckles. Well, in my previous response I did consider qualifying the word “moral” so as to reflect a sliding scale of the best to worst potential rulers of Westeros, but I figured - eh why bother?

Taking off our “Judeo-Christian glasses”, one could argue that both men have “morally” matured quite a bit since the first few seasons. Septon material? No, but fair & just leaders they’d now make (methinks).
