Well, he basically said "He's dead, unless maybe we decide he's not dead," which doesn't inspire a lot of confidence for a few reasons. So, if they stick to their current position he is dead, but they can always change their mind. If they stick to it and make this the beginning of canonical BumbleBee then that is pretty much the trifecta of garbage plot decisions.

It was more that they have a formal government, but people generally don't listen to it or adhere to its dictates. Shade is essentially the real source of power in the Kingdom. Hence why Shade getting an influx of people from Beacon and Haven is significant. They now have even more weight to throw around to bring order and the recent events will give them all common purpose to ensure some form of order. It doesn't mean suddenly creating a fully-functioning system of government, but it can mean they reach agreements with all the major power-players and groups there that would make calling on a lot of manpower easier should the need arise.
