There are plenty of reasons they should, since at bottom a democracy derives its legitimacy from the demos, the people. Not to mention it makes very little practical sense to ensure there's effectively no government for an extended period.
In the near future they probably won't though, because they don't see it as politically expedient. As time goes by that becomes a more difficult position to sustain.
