The theory only particular works if the group needs to maintain a popular, if not necessarily democratic, base. In this case, Hamas does do well because they do have a strong level of popular support (they're seen as less corrupt and willing to stand up to the Israelis). I don't think they could keep power if they failed to effectively govern an area they completely controlled.
