People are willing to have a new ruler if they believe it will make their life better. But if things get worse, they want a another leader. Great example is
what is going on in Egypt. The ruler has been in power for 30 years and he has not let the majority of people change the government. So he has built up a country of enemies with few people on his side. The friends of his government are also calling on change for the people although the change may not be good for those governments. It could be become worse, but if people choose it may be better. Therefore all princess or dictators will face enemies and friends. The Egypt example shows a leader which is from an older generation satisfying the needs of the older regime and cultural style. While today's Egypt is a young and educated society with different needs and social changes. These are young technically advanced people with needs of better economic conditions. This can represent what chapter three discuss with a land of different culture and social makeup than the current dictator comes from and needs a change for the people and the land.
I believe that people will seek change if they are not satisfied with the current way government is being handled but half the time people don't care enough to put the effort into changing. When they do, if they don't have the followers, they are shot down and outcasted. I think politics are just too tricky.
