You have to look at what the game presents us, many seem to think the Stormcloak victory in Skyrim won't harm them, they'll become great and trade and form alliances... That is wishful thinking and goes against everything that is shown to you in the game. Stormcloaks do not buy from Non-Nords that throws out trade. Alliances with who? The Bretons? "Those milk drinkers? Might as well be elves. Think they're better than us." - Galmar Stone-Fist
Independence is a good thing and just because Hammerfell did it doesn't mean Skyrim can, Hammerfell has infighting between factions, be like Clan wars in Skyrim if they wanted to follow Hammerfell's political stance. Not to mention people seem to dislike Tullius being in charge because he isn't a Nord, even though he does put Legate Rikke in charge of helping the Governments of Skyrim.
I can safely say I much rather Legate Rikke in charge than Galmar.
"The General's put me in charge of assisting the new governments. I may understand things here in Skyrim better than the General, but I'm a soldier at heart, not a politician. But I'll do my best. This is the land of my birth, the land that shaped me. I'm proud to have any part in making it strong again." - Rikke
"Heh. Ulfric's put me in charge of keeping an eye on the new Jarls. You know, make sure they're generally following orders. Can't say I'm looking forward to that. But, I'll also be training men and women for their new armies. The Empire might send over a few Legionnaires to make sure we're serious, and of course, we'll be taking the fight to the elves soon enough. We'll need trained, disciplined and creative warriors ready for all that." - Galmar
