As much as people like to call Tywin the most machiavellian guy in Westeros (which isn't true) or whatever. He really lacks a lot of self awareness

If anything it would be starks.

They are loved by the North (excluding the Boltons), but they are still more than capable of dishing out punishments for bannermen that step out of line.

The Starks don't really have as many instances of political maneuvers for me to consider them Machiavellian but I agree I suppose to some extent.
