Locke: Dany will only take the iron throne so long as she doesn't have to kill her enemies? What does killing Cersei have to do with being "more of the same" your point is ridiculous.

Just like in real life, if word got out that leaders were being executed during a formal negotiation, there would be repercussions. The show goes to great lengths to establish that Westeros is fractured and controlling Westeros requires courting several powerful houses to act as bannermen. If you just execute your opponents during a diplomatic negotiation, you aren't going to get very far (see the Mad King).
