Well, in the UK at least, we can have majority governments with minority support (as we have now).
And once in power, a majority government is pretty much an elected dictatorship for the duration of its term.
We don't have a system of proportional representation, so it's only the votes of a few thousand people in marginal constituencies that determine who will govern.
