Few candidates in the West nowadays win more than half of the votes, still less a majority of the electorate. Most are obliged to govern with slim electoral mandates. The issue is how the relationship between supporters and opponents is managed. In part this is a matter of rules and institutions to constrain a leader's power and to allow the aggrieved to find redress. These should include a robust account of citizens' basic rights, independent courts to enforce them and free media to monitor them. From a democratic perspective, these are the areas where Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's embattled prime minister, has most seriously erred. The majoritarian world view espoused by Erdogan and leaders of his ilk is a kind of zombie democracy. It has the outward shape of the real thing, but it lacks the heart.
