always follow the same path, they sieze power with power, then 
maintain their hold on that power by ever more escalating oppressive 
applications of power until their world becomes completely
dysfunctional. With Voldemort as ruler, I see commerce and economy in
chaos and ruin, and that does not bode well for an ambitious young
Slytherin who plans on getting rich. >>

I feel certain that Lucius Malfoy is certain that, once Voldemort has
fronted a movement to overthrow the wizarding government, Lucius
Malfoy will replace Voldemort as ruler, and rule much better for
commerce and economy. I imagine that Malfoy's associates share this
opinion. I imagine that there are other Death Eaters who expect that
themselves or their friends will be the new ruler that replaces Voldemort.

How Malfoy expects to replace Voldemort:

Step 1, flatter and charm him into doing what Malfoy wants instead of
what Voldemort wants.

Step 2, weaken Voldemort so that he secretly stays inside a luxurious
tomb attended by skilled nurses, then give commands in Voldemort's name.

Step3, kill or imprison Voldemort and rule in his own name.
