(10,362 posts)Some of the candidates for a replacement leader were booed on the stage.
A revolution has to have a leader that everyone can unite behind. Tymoshenko has already been convicted of corruption, and partly by the testimony of one of the leaders for the protestors. The speaker of the house (or whatever they call it) is viewed as an insider who is also corrupt.
Basically the same corrupt crowd is trying to take over the revolution. Each one seems to have too many political enemies to form a majority coalition. The alternative seems to be these right-wing extremist groups or people with no political experience like boxers and actors. It's a total circus. I'm guessing once it becomes evident that no effective government can be formed from such different groups, the military will assert control.
