I believe we have been provided evidence of 3 different island leaders, and that a new one is soon to come, after Locke.
The fact that Locke successfully managed to kill himself in the future, makes me think that whatever work he had to do for The Island, got completed. His work was to lead the Others, and work for the good of The Island. So maybe over the next two seasons, we will see a new leader surface, in the same way that Ben was replaced when a better model was secured. Maybe Locke will become power hungry and abuse the powers like Ben did or lose his connection with the island. Something will happen and he will have to move the island again, and in the process, sacrifice his own island life for The Island.
Did Locke become crippled and wheelchair bound again when he left the island? If so, that would be motive for suicide, in his mind.
And perhaps this is how Widmore lost the island. He was leader once, and had to leave for good when HE moved the island and Ben replaced him. I bet 15 years ago, Widmore lead a cracker-munching Ben through the same routine on the way to the Orchid.
Of those left behind, who would likely become the next leader to take Locke's place? Could Widmore or Ben get a second chance, if they can find it? If not, why would Widmore bother trying? Was Jacob the original leader?
