That is true, while Iran's situation is hardly purely democratic, it's kind of why I put the Saudi example next to it. As Saudi Arabia is supposed to be more Democratic and an ally of the West.
I did Google for a Shi'a leader in Saudi Arabia. I didn't get any results.
Obviously someone in the minority can rise up, but mostly the country would have to do what Zootopia does and have a strong political belief that anyone can be anything, and so are willing to put up a minority into positions of responsibility to be symbolic of that ideal.
Thusly, a lion could possibly be a mayor. But in a primary of two candidates promising the same things, it seems far more likely the prey animal would win in Zootopia.
It would be interesting to know the backstory to how a Lion could have possible won, especially one that is so openly belittling to their prey staff as Lionheart is.
