Since this is a theory I mark it as a spoiler. Anyways, here we go: Do you remember the final voting where Sam stands up, suggests democracy and gets laughed at? That is the ending of the show in a nutshell. Not the audience decides who gets on the Iron Throne, the authors do. Even if their decision is obviously terrible, the audience, representing "the common people" in the Seven Kingsdoms, has to swallow it, because "they don't get to choose" (oops, there is another hint).
My theory is that the ending is bad because it is supposed to be bad. It's the only way to get this important message through. So if you and me want someone else to rule, we better live in a democracy. And that's what basically the whole show is all about, it's an advertisement for feminism and democracy. And of course nobody wants to live under fascism, that's why our beloved Daenerys gets killed shortly after delivering her Adolf-speech. I think they got that message through as well.
Even though I hate it with a passion, I truely believe that the ending is actually brilliant.
