No because we will stop supporting them. I don't want to be indirectly supporting an illiberal neo-medieval government to continue. The people of Saudia Arabia deserve better.

There is also the issue of the huge amount of financial support for bigotry around the world coming out of Saudia Arabia. The sooner this money flow stops the better.

It's hard to have a good idea of what's going on in Saudi Arabia, but I am under the impression that the population is more conservative than its depraved monarchy and its cocaine trips to Europe. I am not sure a secular liberal government is what would result from some free elections.

I agree. All I can draw on is my personal experience and from this many Saudis are yearning for change and being part of the 21st century.
