Yes. The silent presumption of liberalism is that those within the society naturally agree with liberalism and the purpose of so-called "democratic processes" is to come to solutions within the liberal democratic paradigm. This is why the most effective democracies are largely homogenous, small-population societies with generally similar values, such as local bodies. This is also why I think the 1990s are seen as such a peak for democracy, most of political movements in 90s Western governments whether left or right moved towards a sort of mono-neoliberalism but we see this break down and unravel as more radical figures push the "overton window" outwards again.
