I also tend to think the Wildling subplot (with their outlying hints of quasi-democracy) are going to lead, at some future date, to some sort of Magna Carta-like resolution.
A Magna Carta is likely, but I suspect given under less duress. But in this world that was more than 400 years before the Wars of the Roses and Parliament not that much younger and we still had the WotR and Hundred Years War against the French. And even in the 1200's there was the basis for both with charters and boroughs with rights and commerce, whose participants want a say in how they're governed. Westeros is incredibly behind economically and socially in this respect.
