They want independence that's why they named him King in the North. Bran will have a great role in the war to come but definitely not in the position of leader.

If the Northerners are going for independence, then they can simply co-opt the title of Warden and use it for their own business. And what else would you think Brans "great role" involves if he's not King in the North? The office of King, Winterfell and the bloodline which inherits all of that was started by a man who is implied to be a sorcerer (read greenseer), and Bran's abilities come from his Stark heritage (Jojen Reed: "It's in your blood, Bran!"). So do the math! Being a greenseer should enhance his position.
