Those very people who took to the streets now must lead them by running for office. There's no other way to do it. Expecting the existing elite to lead which do not share ideology and which are still holding on to backwardness is not going to help democratization.
It's the same problem or situation faced by my own country who have had political change from Soeharto's regime in 1998. The Arab is much more united and they knew the cost of failure hence the job of guarding the process if necessary by even more protests until the idiots at the top realize the game is not theirs but the people's and for the people and by the people.
