Same reason Littlefinger is hitting the road so quickly. To make sure he keeps his skin.
I'm convinced that L. Finger is a good guy. Sure, he settled a couple of beefs with the Starks over losing out on Cat when he was younger......but in the end, he really seems to be sticking it to the nobles. Finger is the ultimate bootstrap capitalist.
You must be the only person in the world watching this series convinced that Littlefinger is a good guy.
Really? He seems to be the only one who thinks men should stand on the merit of their ability to act instead of their lineage. Nothing wrong with that. To your point though...I think I was also one of the very few who thought Tywin Lannister was in the right as well.....except for his disdain for Tyrion.
I think I'm probably one of the few who doesn't think Robert was a good guy as well.
Going against the nepotism of the world and making it vs being a good guy are not really things I think have direct relation. You seem to think that it is ok if you are ruthless as long as you have other desirable character traits which apparently is greed/desire for power.
King Robert was sub par as a person. A lot of common negative traits that don't pair well with absolute power. He was, without a doubt, a horrible, horrible, horrible King (which I think he likely would agree with) though a better King than the one before and after him.
Tommen could be a good King if he finds his spine and grows in understanding of the world but likely he will be well dead before that happens.
