* Those who want to discuss the issue of an elected government in the dialogue need to understand that Prince Khalifa bin Salman -especially after the recent events- isn’t seen as just a prime minister any more. 
He became a symbol to Sunna and their dignity, a symbol to standing tall and not surrendering. 

What those who marginalized sunna and labeled them as thugs in the roundabout didn’t know, was that they unknowingly tied the destinies of those they eliminated together. 
When they demanded the fall of regime and that Prince Khalifa steps down, they accidently created  a “Sunni and Khalifa bin Salman” union and tied their destines together, which made the demands that the prime minister “leaves” means that sunna must leave too.
