This is a presumption we make, but CIA analyses of societies as they democratize (reform their election systems to better represent the people) don’t seem to slow down as much as we predicted. Perhaps the metric is misgauged much like the Laffer curve, and the sweet spot is to the left of center, somewhere that no nation has yet explored.
Ideally, as citizens have the time and energy to become civically engaged and aware of their own best interests, as information is better accessible to them, distribution of power outward can be afforded with much less slowdown.
And to be fair, progress in neoliberal states is ratcheted back by right-wing institutions such as SCOTUS, not due to the power distribution of the election system.
