We've seen the results over and over again. What will happen is that eventually an authoritarian government will replace the previous government. Look at, USSR, Iran, Nicaragua, China. They all had a corrupt government toppled where people thought anything was better than what they had. Unfortunately without a plan and without professionals at the top of the government the government begins to fail. The general population feels that they are in a desperate situation and someone comes along that says he/she will solve their problem. The people vote them in or somehow the government gets taken over. The new government will eventually rule by decree and a dictatorial government rules the country until the next revolution.

This is a regular pattern. They need to look at it and try to prevent it from happening again. They need to, at the very least, have a plan to make people feel better about the people's future under the new government.
