Skald is an old prick, I agree, but the rest of the Jarls are good. When Dengeir becomes Jarl you see how good he actually is, much, much better than his nephew. Thongvir has nothing to do with his brother since they are on opposite sides in the war. Vignar is a great Jarl, who has more conviction than Balgruff and cares just as much about Whiterun. Korir isn't as good as the other Jarl but he cares as much about Winterhold. Layla is a tool, but she has more influence than you think. It's better than Maven having all the power.

Ulfric is a great man. I'v already explained why, I've also already explained why he was never a Thalmor Agent, and also why Dunmer and Argonians don't have an easy time.
