Consent for a Government can be withdrawn at any time, and not just at elections.
Greed for power does not equate with a withdrawal of consent.
For example in Romania in early 2012, consent was withdrawn, and the Government was overthrown.
The replacement Government proved to be those with a greed for power, and did not last 6 months.
Similarly Egypt. Consent was withdrawn, and the Muslim Brotherhood proved to be driven by a greed for power. So consent was withdrawn.
Et-bloody-cet-bloody-ra.
Until power is swept off the table and placed permanently out of reach, under the Rule of Law, consent will continue to be withdrawn. It's not a question of 'if', it is only a matter of 'when'.
